The US has long enjoyed its oversized influence, drawing in all the good things from around the world, from manpower to weapons. It has attracted talented individuals like Sundar Pichai and Ramaswamy, willing to pay any price for them. For years, US citizens have enjoyed the benefits of this global talent.
Unfortunately, they re-elected a leader who is seen as a destroyer. America is witnessing its decline but feels helpless as its president continues down the same path. In our native language, there is a proverb: “Where there is a peak, there is also drought.” America has started to experience this. The country that ruled the world for a century is beginning to step down from its superpower position.
The US sold fear to the world, amassing wealth from others’ fears and solidifying its position. They believed only US citizens held value globally, and the rest of the world felt this, leading many to support the US in becoming its citizens. However, that faith is now wavering. Those who supported the US in its prosperity now face stress as the US administration begins to reject people from other countries who have acted as Americans.
After Britain ruled the world for nearly two centuries, America gradually took over, especially in a different way. The dollar became its weapon, product, and threat. With the dollar’s power, they imposed sanctions on many countries at various times. Few countries have not faced US sanctions, either partially or wholly. If they disliked something, they would declare a sanction, a powerful new word they created.
Replacing the British pound, the USD became the world’s currency. Cleverly, they sold their printed currency, fooling the world for a long time.
Countries sold their best products to the US for its currency, providing first-quality goods while consuming third-quality ones themselves. As the economy emerged, the US’s position was established by accumulating more US dollars, making it a priority for all products and the manufacturing hub for the rest of the world. Slowly, China took over as the world’s manufacturer.
A declining economy means a country exports more products to the US at lower values, with the US setting the price. They accumulate products in large quantities. Americans become overweight by consuming more than they need, growing arrogant and aggressive towards the world with the dollar’s power, weaponizing the globe through it. They destroy not only themselves but the world as a whole.
America apologized to Japan after 75 years of silence for Hiroshima, for the sake of trade, but not sincerely. If it were genuine, they would have stopped making weapons. Today, they are rushing to create bombs 24 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, citing a fake threat from Iran, which has always stated it is not keen on war. Still, the US wishes to push them into conflict and threaten a WWIII, trying to reclaim its position as a world leader. But time is up; their currency is no longer desired, and so is their position. Today, they have started a direct conflict with Mexico.
After the Soviet Union’s collapse in the 1990s and the end of World War II, the new world order was dominated by the US. Thanks to the Atlantic Ocean, the US was the only developed country to survive World War II intact.
The US wisely used the British pound’s decline. Americans have always made the dollar a super currency through artificial means, offering small trade favors to other countries. It didn’t take long for the dollar to rule the world.
But they are digging their own grave by announcing trade wars and disputes with other countries. This was evident when the stock market reacted to Trump’s decision to implement new tariffs, especially on China. They not only harmed the American market but the entire world. Even in India, the stock market shock was significant. Seeing the decline in US bond values shocked Trump, leading to a 90-day pause on new tariffs for world trade, except for China.
American influence is waning. There was a time when they had military bases in almost every country, with Europe supporting them. They lavishly consumed other countries’ resources. Now, Europe no longer trusts them.
The countdown for Big Daddy has started. America will no longer be the America we know in a few more years. All thanks to Trump!
