The American Empire Ended In A Single Day!

Americans will wake up in a few hours to find that their country’s global dominance is well and truly over.

I am not being hyper-dramatic when I say that it ended in a single day, after Trump told his aides that he was prepared to end the Iran war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. This was first reported by the Wall Street Journal and later confirmed by the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and also Secretary of State Marco Rubio. What we are witnessing is truly historic, as significant as the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I cannot recall another chapter in history when a nation’s dominant status changed so dramatically overnight.

But no words can hide the enormity of the occasion. When you go to war to destroy a country and it’s government, but end up leaving your enemy in control of the most important waterway for the supply of oil and energy in the world, your prestige has truly been shattered!

And when you have to leave a region of the world where you were previously dominant, but now have no more military bases because all of them were totally destroyed by your enemy, it is another unmistakable sign that you are no longer the world’s superpower.

A superpower does not hand control over a strategic waterway to an enemy regional power. Neither can it be chased out of its home in a region of the world. But that is what just happened in the Iran war.

Empires almost always decline over many years before their eventual fall. But not Pax Americana, which ended in a single day!
