#ushegemony — Public Fediverse posts

@MissGayle
I think that the US Military stil has, and will have for a long time to come, the ability to project power. Not only does military history show that it can project power effectively (even if only for a limited time) it can also constrain and diminish an adversery’s ability to do so in return.

Leaving aside nuclear weapons and any Dr Stragelove types in charge of the nuclear buttons, if we limit this discussion to conventional weapons:
(1) the Allied SSN and SSNB deterrence will remain effective and very expensive (in terms of platforms) to counter mainly due to the superior stealth qualities of US and UK submarines
(2) The US surface fleet (with its air wings and marines) is still the most effective fighting force in the world and unlikely to be overtaken by China for at least a decade or more due to the fact that it is a well-oiled machine (strategically and tactically) because of its fighting record, unmatched by any other navies including China.
(3) The US Strategic airforce and airlift command are also well oiled if getting somewhat old in the tooth. And the missile component, while evolving all the time, is as good as the production capacity of the world biggest military industrial complex and the dollar printing presses.

While China is playing catch up and will one day match the US in military platforms capacity (it has outmatched everyone else in terms of cannon fodder for a very long time) it is highly unlikely to match the US Navy’s fighting capability (China needs of hell of a lot more battle experience for that)

What the US (nor anyone else besides China) doesn’t do well is Nation Building, that is boots on the ground & hearts & mind stuff. China on the other hand has lots of experience doing just that. What’s more, for the PRC, Taiwan represents a ‘face saving’ goal, the unification of the Han nation (never mind the natives, for China they don’t exist). For the West to war against China over Taiwan, the question will be: “What’s in it for us?” The answer of course will be: “Not enough to get blooded.” So, the question of whom might win that war is irrelevant. I agree with you on that, it’s inevitable and a matter of time. It’s another story if we’re talking about any Japanese, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Philipine islands that China might contest, because this is an island too far.

That is my two cents’ worth. Thanks you for reading if you got this far.

“Two weeks ago, I joined heads of state from the world’s leading #democracies and AI industry peers at the G7 in France.”

…

“I would like to propose a simple framework: a #USLed international forum that establishes accepted standards, provides expert and impartial analysis of capabilities and risks, and makes the #technology available to nations and companies that participate and follow the rules. This forum might include #government representatives, independent #technical #experts and others. It could also serve as a #governance mechanism over the labs, and guard against the commercial pressures that can lead to unsafe racing.

Countries — and the #people and businesses that live within them — deserve access to this technology. And the entire world should want to ensure that standards are followed to keep us all safe; anyone misusing #AI could do a great deal of damage.”

Bulls*t Boi at it again acting like #ArtificialIntelligence is the new oil with the USA oligarchs at the centre.

"A #technopoly is both cultural & political because “technology” is both a #culture & a self-reinforcing socioeconomic system. Looking at the world through the lens of “technology” leads you to think about the world in terms of technology.
By defending the technopoly the USgov signalled to its allies that, as a political & cultural #paradigm, the technological mode of thought was not optional. They clearly saw this worldview as integral to the future of the #UShegemony."

🇨🇳In the face of US hegemony and bullying, remember this

#usa #china #ushegemony #bullying #imperialism

#YanisVaroufakis: "Many refer to this world — the one in which #GenX grew up — as the #neoliberal era, others associate it with #globalisation, some identify it with #financialisation. It’s all the same thing — the world the #NixonShock begat and which the 2008 financial crash shook to its foundations. After the 2009 bailouts, although US hegemony continued unabated, it lost much of its dynamism. Today, the Nixon Shock has run out of steam — at least from the perspective of the Trumpists who want to give #UShegemony a second (or is it a third?) wind. This is the whole point of the #TrumpShock and its masterplan, including tactical moves such as enlisting #crypto to their cause."

As the news unfolded on Wednesday morning, I was struck that Chancellor Scholz's first public comment was 'a message posted on X'. The same was true for many other world leaders.

And that epitomises the problem. #X is a platform owned by one highly partisan billionaire and run for their interests. It needs people to sign up to read messages. News sites can't even embed them any more.

How can a state resist #USHegemony if it can't even claim sovereignty over official communications?

hard lessons

In 1959, Fidel Castro came to power in an armed revolt which overthrew the Cuban dictator, Fulgencio Batista.

Castro quickly aligned with the Soviet Union, seized American and foreign-owned assets, and declared himself a Communist.

Alarmed, the Eisenhower Administration approved a plan devised by the CIA in 1960 to train Cuban exiles to infiltrate Cuba and start a revolution.

Those NGOs that are so afraid that their funding may become public knowledge. Here is an interesting take on the NGO system and the UN from Craig Murray.

Last Friday’s Camp David summit held between US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea marked an ominous milestone in the accelerating US drive to war with #China.

One of my favorites from Caitlin Johnstone: "US accuses Chinese warship of unsafe maneuver in the Taiwan Strait; China accuses US warships of being on the wrong side of the fucking planet."

The big problem with #USA's #colonialism is that it transcends even #race and creed.

The #billionaireClass are 'Equal Opportunity Expoiters'.
