Empires come and go. That much should be crystal clear from the history of empires, recent and distant. Once “great”, Britain now behaves like an American poodle. Leaders of formerly imperial Europe get lectured on or humiliated by Donald Trump in full view of the world.
The time for the United States or Pax Americana to go has arrived. And it would be for the better.
A glance at the emergence of this “empire of liberty”, a clear oxymoron, is in order.
This vast settler colony was set up by the 17th century Christian European refugees and subsequent immigrants, again largely from Christian Europe. It has since grown like a big mushroom on the genocidally grabbed land of the indigenous first nations. The biblically termed “City upon the Hill” proceeded to build its un-Christian wealth, to significant degree, with the labour of enslaved Africans and their descendants while expanding its territories through “savage wars of choice”.
Running 800 military bases worldwide at the annual cost of nearly $1 trillion, the singular legacy of the United States is the unmistakable trail of death and destruction in Asia, Africa, Latin and Central America and the Middle East. The estimated 10 million deaths at the hands of the American executioners, either from their policy desks or their cockpits, since the Korean War is too large a volume of the “collateral damage” to ignore.
Its continuing patronage of, and direct participation in, Israel’s Gaza genocide and continuing colonial occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem will be viewed as a watershed moment in its short imperial history when the Empire has driven the final nail in its own coffin.
Within a short span of less than 250 years, the never-acknowledged Pax Americana is imploding at home while the world of allies, friends and adversaries have come to realize this vast European offshoot in N. America has become too dangerous for humanity at large.
The shell of the empire, its trappings, its vast wealth and its might are still there, but its moral foundations, to the extent they have existed, have already collapsed.
Kiss Goodbye to the American soft-power, so-called.
The vital institutions which are pillars of an open society and democratic culture (for instance, universities, independent media, museums, research centers, etc.) are fast being destroyed.
Its presidential leadership is a laughingstock worldwide and the greatest source of embarrassment at home.
President Donald Trump Jr. is a known serial sex offender and a vile racist, not unlike Hitler whose Mein Kampf he reportedly keeps by his bedside.
In his Oval Office, Trump shared with the visiting German Chancellor Metz, his long-held view that the Nazis’ defeat was “not good” for Germany while routinely demonizing, de-humanizing and criminalizing non-white, non-Christian refugees, asylum-seekers and immigrants as “rapists” “pet eaters” “criminals” “murderers”.
History is certainly not ending.
But the world is clearly forging an alternative order, without Pax Americana as its criminal bully, while pariahizing Israel, another parasitic settler colony, not unlike USA, in pursuit of its Hitlerite expansionist delusions or “Mein Kampf in reverse”.
