Why do you think they would be keen to release power to China? Economics?
Theyโre not doing it on purpose. The people currently making these decisions do not understand the government, what it does, why it is powerful, where the money comes from, etc. Itโs like someone stripping the copper wiring out of their own house.
Yeah, that could be it. Itโs highly irrational to me, and only a pathological greed combined with a complete lack of understanding that money without a functioning society means jack shit. Yes, youโll be rich, but you built a society where youโll need to fly in a helicopter between your properties over slums.
Trump is keen on doing it because heโs being told to do it by the people who control him.
Russia and China are allies and in BRICKS. Russia paid for Trump to get elected twice.
I thought that it was BRICS? Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
Because trump views ties as weakness. He thinks isolationism is strength. The exact opposite is true - our ties and treaties, both hard and soft power - have ensured American strength for a century.
Trump is going to set all that ablaze because he canโt think further than his own experience: fuck everyone else to get ahead.
I donโt know, the American Empire basically exists to serve billionaires like him, I donโt see how a Chinese takeover would serve them, as they just disappear billionaires if they donโt get in line.
I guess they just want to turn the USA into what Russia is now, but even there you really donโt want to get on Putinโs bad side or you lose everything. Itโs honestly very irrational IMHO, as the US has the right mix of opportunity and lack of any personal risk for the wealthy. They want to turn the US into a crime ridden shithole where theyโre beholden to the whims of Trump or whomever follows him.
