Mearsheimer and the Truth of America

 


Prof. Mearsheimer, in lecturing to Australians a few years ago, told them that they have to choose between China and the USA. Australia depends on China to buy its minerals. He warned that America had gone frenetic each time confronted by a peer competitor and did not stop till totally destroyed it. America is foaming at the mouth vis-a-vis China's rise and Australia better choose sides. What he predicted is happening. 

Today America is close to an outright state of war with China, with Biden intent on totally crippling China’s vital domestic microchip industry. Ron Unz says that this measure is eerily similar to the embargo imposed in 1941 against shipments of oil to Japan, a decision that led to the Pacific War. Undeclared war with Russia is not enough and America must have one at the same time with China as well.

Old liberal Biden appeared almost socialist before being elected but has been extraordinarily aggressive in foreign policy and protective of capitalism at home. At the same time, he has promoted "diverse" weirdoes to visible governmental positions. Counterintuitively, those exotic figures are doing well. Even the unimaginable Jewish Almirante in drag seems to be carrying out "her" duties as any Nordic sea dog of the old.
