bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-03-08/the-american-century-is-over-putin-and-assad-killed-it archive.is/PMcbi >For anyone who thought that the winding down of the campaign against the Islamic State would cause the Syrian civil war to recede from the headlines, the last few weeks have been a rude awakening. Far from abating, the Syrian conflict is intensifying, with a brutal assault -- reportedly involving chemical weapons -- by the Syrian government on rebel-held areas near Damascus, sharp aerial clashes between Israeli, Iranian and Syrian forces, and a bloody and one-sided confrontation between American airpower and Russian "mercenaries."
>These events do more than simply demonstrate that the Syrian conflict remains an appalling humanitarian catastrophe. More significantly, Syria is the nexus for the destabilizing trends that are thrusting the entire global order into crisis.
>That order was originally created after World War II, but it reached its full flowering and ambition after the fall of the Soviet Union. The post-Cold War era was characterized by widespread hopes that the forces of order and civilization were finally defeating those of aggression and inhumanity; that democracy was becoming truly universal; that great-power competition had vanished; and that the danger of major war was receding further than ever before. Nearly three decades later, however, the heady optimism of that period has given way to a darker set of trends, all of which are at work in Syria.
>Begin with the obvious: Syria represents an assault on the very idea of moral progress. But it's not alone. Around the globe, longstanding legal and ethical norms are being eroded, and the world is being dragged back to a more ruthless, less-enlightened age. China, which may have a ruler-for-life, is chipping away at freedom of navigation in the Western Pacific; Russia has shattered the taboo against wars of aggression and conquest in Ukraine and elsewhere.
why isnt Sup Forums on the /qresearch/ board right now on infinity and redpilling them on the holohoax? which is being discussed right now? missing the redpilling of a lifetime desu

Man I remember when everyone laughed at me calling it a dumb conspiracy theory....Lmao
>The new American millennium is about to begin. The new American millennium is beginning with fading American relevance around the globe, American retreat from the global order, American economic implosion, and American military hegemony under fire.
But sure, if you think those are all good signs, carry on as normal.
>You mean like Trump being the catalyst to unite Korea?
korea would've already been united if it wasn't for american intervention
Jaxson Rivera
Fingers crossed user, but I worry that the forces of good are losing the initiative, and once our momentum is lost it will be even harder to recover.
I feel like we need a great moral victory soon to restore faith in the global system.
Carter Edwards
Korea will be united eventually under the WPK. There will be no surrender from KJU to Jewish forces. Since Trump will not allowed a Jewish puppet (SK) to fall to a freedom-fighting country, he will not be the reason for reunification.
Anthony Gutierrez
Israel is about to be exposed too retard. Palestine will get their land back and korea will unify. Then the world will finally know peace.

waah, the American "empire" of pornography, gay marriage and usury couldn't last more than a few decades, what a disaster for humankind
the whole world transformed in to an american strip mall was not a nice dream, but you're right that it could never last
Palestine will indeed, in time, regain their land, as will Korea reunify. It's not going to happen over night, over the next few months or year. This will all happen in several years time

why? you don't like it when muslims force their values on you, why would you think the rest of the world likes it when the west forces its values on them?

Russia will support Israel as a thorn in Turkey's side and to help keep their puppet in Syria
Wrong. Russia doesn't want to do shit with Israel, they just crashed anotehr plane in Syria and it was a Russian plane this time. Israel will be BTFO this year.

Shut the fuck up moron.
The US is a kike oligarchy and the degeneracy it spawns and spreads worldwide is a key policy of it.
Neocons want to preserve the empire at the cost of the republic. Trump and paleocons want to preserve the republic at the cost of the empire. Dumbfuck neoliberals think they can preserve both
Liam Flores
Yes it is you fucking kike. Why do you think you get to dictate anything? You're only here to shill and try to defend israel. Guess what? It's not fucking working and your tactics are stupid.

People are losing faith in the global system because it concentrates power into the hands of the few and only a thinning pack of naive idiots still consider it to be viable.
The only one who doubled down on your "muh joos" buzzword was you.
Robert Sullivan
I read and replied to that post.
This is also true, and I think it's a shame. The problem is all the people here advocating throwing the baby out with the bathwater: "liberal democracy isn't perfect, so let's go back to goose-stepping."
They'll be disappointed before the end.

best way to start a civilwar between muslims leaving europeans safe forever? have cia foment a fake revolution in syria causing an endless war. cost = zero. risk = zero. islam has been checkmated, it will never be a threat.

That just restates the original opinion, it doesn't expand on it. I'm interested in why you think a strong domestic America is at odds with strong American support for universal enlightenment values abroad. America's hardly a poor country - I'm sure it can afford both, if shitholes like Russia and China can manage to find the cash.
Why not both?
I agree with this, and I think Syria highlights it. I think that coming out of Iraq and the Middle East in the 2000s and early 2010s there is now a great fatigue for sticking your neck out for "other people" "somewhere else," which is a shame. At the same time the (justified) populist anger is being redirected away from the appropriate targets - the domestic institutions that have absolutely failed to transfer the global wealth into the hands of the people - and towards nebulous international "problems" that are responsible for that global wealth in the first place.
The people in charge would sooner crash the global economy than be forced to share it.

My dick. So hard. So fucking hard.
These idiots have been living a lie, they've been fed lies from day one. They've been telling lies and trading lies. Bathing in lies. And now the lies are breaking apart.
I agree with this, and that's why American moral leadership is so important to the world. America has to be able to demonstrate at home what it sells abroad - it is democracy's showroom. A strong America at home will lead to greater credibility when selling the enlightenment project to foreigners. On the other hand, if democracy (and not just democracy, but the liberal enlightenment values tied up in it) is in retreat in America then it will soon be in retreat around the world.
The point isn't that America should fight for democracy because it's in their interests (although it is). Americans should fight for democracy because Americans should want to fight for democracy. It shouldn't need to be justified to them.
>but why not Australia? Why not Europe? There simply isn't the same capacity. Australia and Europe and the rest of the West has a role to play in supporting the international order, but America has to lead.
Ian Campbell
Yes it's because of a war in an obscure nation with the GDP of a small American city. Nothing to do with the 2008 financial crisis where capitalism was abandoned to bail out private companies because they owned politicians. Since then the US budget has been hemorrhaging at least half a trillion each year and more often than not closer to a trillion. If you want to point to one single event then that's the one.
Luis Nguyen
The original point of US world involvement was to defeat the Soviets. When the USSR fell, this went away but politicians tried to find reasons to keep the power the US achieved (terrorism, freedom, etc.). The US is realizing we made bad economic deals in exchange for military cooperation and we are starting to withdraw to reduce our deficits and get our jobs back. Trump is the start of that process

Kayden Lewis
This isn't the 1950s anymore. We aren't the wealthy country we once were. We are being passed by China and we are facing a decline. We either kill ourselves economically to keep democracy alive abroad, or do what we can to make sure we survive economically.

Individuals are entitled to freedom, especially freedom from their states.

There was no American century. There were only delusions of grandeur.
Muslims will continue to be Muslims, autocrats will continue to be autocrats, and the West will continue to be better off without them. Let them stand as an example of the destruction wrought by the alternative.

You're a poser, or one of the best Aussie shitposters I've ever seen.
>This isn't the 1950s anymore. I agree, but it's not 2050 yet. America's star hasn't gone out yet, and I think America's problems are reversible. The problem that I see is a lack of will to 1. frame the problem impartially 2. pursue policy that actually addresses the problem in a bipartisan manner 3. implement the policy without kicking and screaming over it.
I think this problem exists because Americans fundamentally disagree on what the problem is, and if the problem can't be framed it can't be fixed.

>implying China would be colonizing the planet without the help of US and Nixon/R'feller since the 70s Rockefeller/Nixon literally created superpower China and the US continued to transfer the wealth and future of the west to China would china be what it is today solely based on china's abilities and without western transfer of wealth and technology?
US is China's greatest ally. if it was not for the US, China would still be a country based on subsistence farming. US literally created superpower China... Nixon/Rockefeller birthed superpower China and the US continued to transfer the wealth and future of the west to China china would not be what it is today solely based on china's abilities and without western transfer of wealth and technology
China's rise was due to a transfer of wealth from the west.
>murica transfer of wealth/technology/industry to poor rural china >murica create power strong china >murica claim a strong china a problem >murica plans on fighting strong china with totalitarian TTP eroding more citizen rights >not creating a scapegoat to implement totalitarianism
the power brokers transferred: -literally all the financial funds of US workers to China, -transferred technology and jobs to China -hyperinflated the housing so that only the Chinese (recipients of western funds) could afford the housing
the transfer of funds was done involuntarily without the consent of the owners of the funds the power brokers took western funds sitting in banks and invested all of that in China.
all that wealth transfer was from your pockets. the private funds in bank accounts, the housing assets, the jobs, all transferred by corporate USA without your agreement...
By about the year 2000 Communist China will be a “superpower” built by American technology and skill -Sutton 1980

>the (((American Century))) is dead And not a short enough life it had.
Caleb Fisher
So basically we do one of two things.
1. Pursue conservative and/or nationalist policies that harm America's status as an economic superpower. Given America's decline in standard of living and GDP per capita, China will almost certainly step in and become the world's newest superpower, and may start invading surrounding countries to spread their version of communism.
2. America protects its GDP by basically pursuing a full out corporatist policy, which involves importing massive numbers of non-white immigrants which destroy's the country's white heritage. Now a nation of latinos and blacks, the country's GDP per capita decreases dramatically and we revert to gilded age era standards of living for the working class, while the Jew elite at the top relish in their newfound control.
