Imagine a World Without the US
"the Zionist billionaires don't expect there to be an America after Trump, or at least they're acting that way" -- Moe Tkacik, on Katie Halper's show
In a recent thread on Facebook, someone asks, in response to a Nathan Robinson comment arguing that the US is the world's biggest terrorist:
Nathan, how do you suppose you go about reforming the world’s biggest terrorist without dissolving it completely in its current form? Could Nazi Germany be reformed? Can Israel? I think not.
So it seems plain at this point that this is what's happening. The actual Trump agenda is: destroy America, blame the woke people. The elites appear pretty much united around it, eslse they'd get rid of him.
So what would happen after the US is reduced to rubble? Would the states conclude that the only purpose in having a US is to prop up the agendas of malevolent billionaires whose obsessions are Zionism, genocide, AI, profiteering, criminality, kidnaping, concentration camps, anti-education, Epstein Island, Bohemian Grove, Trilateral Commission, CFR and so on? Would they then decide to secede all at once? I could imagine it happening after a nuclear war. What would then happen to the US dollar?

Last time diesel went up
...this way was July 2008. The price went up to 4.70. OTR Shipping basically collapsed for a few days. I remember sitting in a truckstop parking lot that was full for three days. The fourth day orders starting coming on line, as the price began to collapse rapidly. At that time of the July 2008 spike the price had peaked at 145 a barrel. Demand from consumers fell by approximately 10 percent with changes in driving habits. The price of oil per barrel collapse to $40 a barrel by Dec 2008. Producers probably also reacted to the sudden price increase. Production had fallen off somewhat over 2007, and demand had increased with China's growth, becoming at the time a significant part of the world market. The rapid recovery from the spike was based on producers who could respond to demand changes.
Can this happen now? Will it?

Hi Soryang
I would recommend a listen to the Alastair Crooke video I posted in the comments here. The situation now is much more extreme, especially in Europe.

I'm sure it is
Thanks for posting the truckers' video Cass!

-WHICH- U.S.?
Sometimes I am tempted to think America is like some kind of civilizational centrifuge: Part of it REALLY IS The Worst Country In The World, and part of it REALLY IS The Best Country In The World.
People are failing to appreciate the true findings of The Great Experiment at the time it matters most.
As I've said before, nearly 350 million people can't all move somewhere else, and just shy of 10 million square kilometers of land isn't going to sink into the sea; from simply a practical standpoint, the extinction of America is a joint-fantasy on the part of oligarchs and their Woke (i.e. 'Religious Right 2.0') footsoldiers alike.
I'd venture to guess what they're really acting like is the disappearance of an America that works for them.
This is a tremendous opportunity; after what I see as 250 straight years of civil war between democratic-republicans and feudalists, we might finally find ourselves in a position to make the vision of the Founding Fathers a reality.
The world NEEDS a genuine Land of the Free.

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
Hi Moonbat, hope you're okay
first:
the question of the US is not a question of "the country," but rather a question of being able to distinguish between "the country," which can be just fine at times although its politics are worthless, and the business model being used to run the US government, which is that of Enron.
"the extinction of America" might be a secretly-imagined outcome of the "oligarchs." It might be their notion of what will really happen if they continue upon their policy trajectories. In the diary here, I am referring to what I and others view as a more likely outcome, in which "America" still exists but the existence of the US is thrust into doubt. People wouldn't move, but they'd have to deal with the evaporation of the current scene.
Moonbat, did you ever read Aldous Huxley's "After Many a Summer"? I thought it would be a novel you'd be amused to read.

You want the voice of rationality to spell it out for you?
So here's Alastair Crooke to spell it out for you:
"Either there has to be some form of economic implosion in the West that deprives it of its dollar hegemony and its ability to sanction people, to coerce people through the financial system, or else there's going to be a geopolitical collapse in the West..."
Alastair Crooke does not go into further details. But all of the other countries of the world are going to arrive, slowly but surely, at the opinion that the US needs to be put down like it was an incurably rabid dog. So what happens if they do this, and the US obliges with an "implosion"? Do not be fooled by the fact that this "implosion" is a slow, careful process. It is happening right now. Trump is merely accelerating it.
