Violence and war become the norm as Trump’s America collapses

Once upon a time, the killing of a US politician by a right -wing terrorist would deal with the media extensively. However, the assassination of Democrata Democrata Melissa Hortman and her husband, however, disappeared rapidly in the news cycle with the shooting of another democratic politician.

Political violence and violent discourses in the USA at high levels (including assassination attempt to Donald Trump last year) rose in recent months. Some of this process is rising to violence from the Trump administration itself, Use of Masked Agents The illegal deployment of national guards and marine pies to Los Angeles, the arrest of the New York Democratic Mayor and the attack on Democratic Senator Alex Padilla.

Thus, the assassination of a politician becomes another data point in America’s landing in civilian conflict and authoritarianism. This is part of a larger picture of the fall of the country: capital flight, chaotic decision -making, return to treasury bonds, the acceleration of innovation to China, the deterioration of the US global soft power.

This is apparently an empire in free decline, under the direction of an unstable autocrat, one who accepts half of the imperial decline and half a rail logic. Once upon a time, the dominant neo-conservatives-every two sides received the Da-location of the two sides, the US military presence around the world, the network of security alliances, and the support of international commitments such as support for global free trade.

The US security guarantee for its allies is now withdrawn; Instead, they ask them to remove defense expenditures. However, the imperial impulse remains. America – in a model extending to both sides of Obama – he still believes that innovation and technological development can involve and disrupt the economic power of China, which turns into a global house. This is the result of China’s commitment to deep government investment and science and research, contrary to increasing hostility in the United States and all kinds of real reasoning in the United States.

The decline of the empire inevitably means more conflict and violence on the imperial environment. Israel, a vassal state in Washington, has survived any restriction by the guarantor and military facilitator, with the daily massacres of a Palestinian population that has not been controlled by any civil impulse or international opposition by committing open and ruthless genocide and ethnic cleansing.

As Trump’s imperial lord, Gaza’s effort to end the “conflict ıl continued five minutes before the cognitive distorted attention period emerged. A similar fate deals with the conflict between the leading standard merchant Vladimir Putin and the people of Ukraine.

Now, Trump, who could not restrict Israel in the launch of an attack on a regime in Iran, is forgotten the role of the US attack on Muslim Middle East countries, the courses of the two unsuccessful Middle Eastern Wars and the Disaster Battle of Terrorism.

In doing so, he would complete the transformation of America into one of the main representatives of global stability in both economy and security. In this century, the contrast could not be sharper with China, which had repeated invasions, professions and bombing and did not try to overthrow the global trade order.

How does Australia’s governing class adapt to the rapid acceleration of the end of the US Empire?

Particularly problematic for Australia. Our need for a strong imperial fertile is in the depths of the national spirit that prevents us from making a significant impact. Our large institutions such as defense bureaucracy and intelligence community are giants who move slowly, prefer to explain any evidence of the need for change, and always prefer to look for a reason to continue work as usual. And our great political parties lack strategic thinkers at the level of parliament.

The result is inevitably confused. The government, of course, took a few steps to call a change by Israel, of course, to state the fact that it was dealing with genocide and ethnic cleansing. A security agreement of the European Union responded to a delayed way to negotiate.

Anthony Albanese continues the labor tradition of trying to interact with Indonesia. On the other hand, in response to Trump’s tariffs, the proposal of “hand in hand” proposal with Australia – a pleasant return from the days when our great trade partner tried to use tariffs to scare us – was suddenly rejected as if the proposed “hand” was gangren.

The government and the defense and security institution are strictly locked in the vassal state mentality. In the face of the fall of the empire, the worker tried to increase his value to Washington by accelerating our integration into the US military and intelligence devices in addition to the surrender of the US to China and almost Iran. This week, Defense Minister effectively guaranteed that Australia will be used by the United States in such a conflict.

The hawk, which seems to be Hanker for war with China, is happy to seize the US calls for higher defense expenditures and their calls for years. However, they never accept the natural logic of such calls – if he spends much more on the Australian defense, because the US is no longer willing to help and even is not possible in case of a conflict.

This logic is played in Groton and Shipyards in Groton and Newport News, where Australia cannot produce enough submarines for its use under Australia, although the US spends a great spending on such ships.

Of course, these hawks are willing to show any seriousness about the difficulty of higher defense expenditures. They never specify which taxes they will remove or cut them to provide the extra hundred billions they want to direct to weapons and troops. They accuse that they are not serious about defense, when they are the seats that treat them as a living room game.

And compared to labor, the coalition is still locked in the 1980s. They want to remove their defense expenditures, but they can’t tell you what happened. Even if the project fails, they criticize the workmanship because they cannot support Aukus sufficiently. They attack labor because it is a “loose computer in China. They offer full turtle support for Israel in everything he does. If the labor force is semi -hearted in Israel’s attitude towards the persecution of the Coalition is a party of genocide and ethnic cleansing support party, the Palestinians are the party that wants Australia to prohibit them to enter Australia, and Israeli genocide advocates require allow them to be allowed to spread Australia about themselves.

All of this is covered by our high -intensified media industry, dominated by a deep US firm, a US company. In the meantime, the rest of this and the rest of the media makes faster business cuts by stripping their expertise from their ranks.

When it is brought together, a world in which the institutional inadequacy and the traditional scenes of the Australian strategic mentality lead to a much more chaotic, uncertain and violent world to cope with the historical moment of the US imperial fall. Our management class is not suitable for the purpose and is not suitable for the challenge. We will all pay the price sooner or later.
