AS THE UNITED STATES GOES

 SO GOES THE AMERICAS 

I've been away from this site for a while, and as usual, it's because the rest of life got in the way. Yep, that's an old song, and I'm not here to sing old songs. I've stepped away from my latest book to make sure this blog site paints a picture I fear may come true. By the way, my next book is called "The War of the Americas." I tossed that in here for one reason, and it's a reason you will see in this post. " As te US goes............So goes the Americas"? Why did I pick that title? Why didn't I stick with the old saying, " As the US goes, so goes the world." Quick answer, I had a good reason. The world seems to not go as the US goes; at least not anymore. If I'm right, what does that mean? More importantly, why did I exchange the world for the Americas? Okay. Let's get down to it.

Shattered Glass:

Have I written about how divided the US seems to be? Yes. Does it seem that division is getting worse? My opinion; yes. Is the pending Presidential election the potential breaking point? Even leading governmental figures are saying yes; figures from both sides of the fight. So, if the US is heading into what many call uncharted waters, what does that mean for everyone else? Does a sinking US ship pull down all the ships around it? No. 

If you are of the opinion the Chinese are out to make the 21st century the time of the Chinese, you've been paying attention. Everything Beijing had done for the past forty years, or more, has been to push the Dragon to world dominance. Xi has even spoken of this goal, more than once. Have you followed the drive towards Internal consumption in China? Do you know why? What has been the so-called, "expert opinion" on why China would not go to war with the US? " It will destroy their economy just as much as it would ours............. They can't afford to go to war with the US!" By the way, many of those "experts" have slowed their roll with this opinion. Internal consumption has one true goal; to push the Chinese economy away from its ties to the US markets. Now you know why some "experts" are stepping away from that "can't go to war with us" opinion. 

Currency. Here is the down and dirty on the currency issue. Shift your market and then destroy the leading currency in the world. If you don't believe the Chinese are out to pull the world away from the dollar standard, well, I can't help you. "Unrestricted Warfare".........did I mention that? Have you read it? How many times have I addressed the concept? Everything Beijing does is by design, and the best playbook they have ever come up with was " Unrestricted Warfare." 

Look, I can type for hours, but let me make this central argument. The world is adjusting to a new, hungry, capable, and focused leader. " So goes the US, so goes the world" is slipping away. Here is the touchy part. Many in the US don't care, and it's that division that fuels the fires burning in the US cities today. "Globalist." It's a title that has become a dirty word to many in the US. It's also the title many in the US dream of. " Biden is a Globalist!" "Trump is a Racist, Nationalist." I don't know if you can get any more divided than that. The US is pulling itself apart, and at just the moment in time when the Dragon is saying, "It's our time!" 

Does anyone see this division inside the US as an opportunity? Silly question, right? Would some nation, or group of nations, work hard to make this division a genuine crisis for the US? Why would they not? Yes, the US is close....very close to shattered glass, and you know what happens when someone simply taps on shattered glass. November is going to be a dangerous time for the US. November is going to be a window of opportunity for the US's enemies. Oh, I just about forgot. Why would the Chines love to see a destroyed US economy? Why would they risk damage to their own economy? Can a military as large and capable as the US's, the most powerful in the world, maintain that status when the nation's economy can no longer pay for it? Can the US exert its dominance without a superior military? Do you have your answer now? Destroyed the economic engine and then get them into an arms race. Does it work? Ask the USSR. 

The world may start to march to the drum of a new leader? Side Note: A lot can happen to the Dragon on the road to victory.  If this theory of mine comes true, then what? What does the US attempt to hold on to? In reality, that depends on how well the US withstands its internal conflict. "The US can't have another Civil War!" Remember the "experts" on what China could not afford to do? If, and I say if, the US finds a way to not rip itself apart, more than it already has, what can be the new normal? 

The Americas:

If you search my site, you will find numerous examples of my opinion on the "Americas." As the US goes....so goes the world might be a statement in the history books, but what about the Americas? Can the US salvage its relationship with the Americas? Can it overcome 100 years of botched foreign policy? Can the US reform an alliance with the nations US citizens can walk to? Does the US have an advantage that might make new policy towards the Americas viable? Yes. Fear. Fear of the Dragon. 

Does the mindset of the Bolivarian Revolution sync with the vision coming from Beijing? Have the Chinese be spending time and effort in the US's "backyard"? Yes. Is the goal a tremendous economic partnership with the Dragon? No! The goal is to create pressure in the US's "Backyard." Do the people of Central and South America realize this? Yes, at least some of them do. Are Central and South America going to have to pick between the lesser of two evils? As the Belt and Road trap grows, they will have to. So, what can the US do to strengthen its homeland? They better find a way to defend the Americas. They better find a way to heal old wounds. The US better find a way to utilize the one true absolute advantage they have over Beijing. Blood.....DNA. The Hispanic demographic of the US is the leverage the US must....must use against the Dragon. The deep-rooted mistrust of smiles coming from the Belt and Road trap cannot be overlooked. You see, the Dragon's Master Plan for world conquest has a fatal flaw. 

"Pride goeth before Destruction" ( Proverbs 16:18)  

The modern-day version of this biblical saying is, Pride comes before a fall. What does it mean, and why do I mention it here? Easy. What was the flaw of the European nations as they set out to rule the world? Arrogance.......a deep feeling of superiority, these were the seeds of resentment throughout the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Wars were held to bend the knee of those who resisted Europe and then the US. Who has this fatal flaw now? Yep......the Dragon. The feeling of, "it's our time........ we are the superior ones..............these are the fatal flaws of the Chinese. It may be too late to save the world from ingesting the poison of the Bridge and Road trap, but it's not too late to save the most crucial landmass to the US. It's not too late to save Central and South America. Blood is thicker than money. Money is the drug of political leaders, but individual freedoms and safety, these are the goals of the people who allow political leaders to rule. Blood and DNA are the bonds between the US and the Americas. When Beijing comes with promises of partnerships and wealth, when the Dragon smiles and extends its claws, the people of the Americas must step away. But, the US must let them know it's safe to do so. The US must ensure the Americas the unity of blood and family is stronger than the promises of a  winged carnivore. Socialism and revolutions are not the future of the Americas, but what alternative has the US honestly tried to build? It is time to strengthen the ties that are based on the future DNA of the nation. If you live in the US, and you don't understand the mathematical reality of the DNA of the nation, you are living in a dream world. The US must.....must fall back on fortress Americas, not fortress America. The British tried that and fought two world wars........wars they would have lost without the US and Russia. Bloodlines............bloodlines saved England. Bloodlines will save the US if it can keep from killing itself in November. Meanwhile, the Dragon circles high above........waiting...........waiting to see if it's victim will die or will it have to swoop down and finish it off.
