Africa without America?

Africa without America?

Among all the major continents on Earth (e.g., Europe and Asia), Africa is most likely to be the first without much American influence.

Why is that?

China!

Four main reasons:

  • Western colonialism has totally devastated Africa, although it was a troubled land for a long time before it.
  • Africa wants to be independent.
  • China offers a real model of prosperity without colonialism!
  • China has been investing a lot in Africa.

Let me highlight each …

Asia without America?

Asia without America?

No, it will not happen soon, either, just like the case in the Mideast (The Mideast without America?) and Europe (Europe without America?)!

America has been hugely influential in Asia since the end of WWII at least. But this influence has been significantly reduced over the past few decades, thanks to the dramatic comeback of China. As China continues to claim the 21st century, American influence in Asia, as well as elsewhere in the world, will gravely diminish.

By “Asia,” I will limit it to East Asia mostly in this post.

Voting is overrated!

Voting is overrated!

The 2022 midterm election is over. Regardless of the final tally, here are two certainties for America:

  • The GOP will become the majority in the House, which means payback time for the Democrats, including the possibility of having President Biden impeached.
  • The American government will continue to be dysfunctional, and America will thus continue to decline, precipitously.

Why and how can America be so hopelessly in a rabbit hole?

Voting is overrated!

American “free press” is a lie!

American “free press” is a lie!

American “free press” is a lie because it practically does not exist in America!

Specifically, the rich control the press, not only the traditional media (e.g., newspapers and TV), but also the social media (e.g., Facebook and Twitter). The press, in turn, serves the rich, including both the commercial and political establishments!
