This is the result of the complete incompetence, arrogance, and sheer stupidity of American leaders in Washington. First they make enemies with Russia, and drive Russia into an alliance with China, it's kind of like going against Sun Tzu plus world champion chess players, and the arrogant SOB's in Washington think they can handle it. Then, look at the arrogant history of the USA, literally using economic warfare, invading, bombing, droning country after country, using depleted uranium, cluster bombs, fabricating evidence to invade Iraq, sponsoring the 2014 coup in Ukraine, and then acting like it was Russia that started the war, the list is so long that it would take a whole day to detail the all dirty dealings of the USA . . . . . while instead of destroying countries, the Russians, Chinese help them build, and Cuba sends doctors while the US is sending bombs, these countries are not going to stand there and take it on the chin, they are tired of putting up with arrogant, lying assholes like we have in Washington. Years ago, the politicians in Washington got the sniff of money, and started sending jobs overseas, because they could get cheap labor there, and did not give a damn about how it affected American citizens, and eventually most manufacturing was gone in the USA, it turned into a service economy, American's wages stagnated from then on, imports skyrocketed, and you know what? Those chickens are coming home to roost . . . . it was there boundless greed that drove them to come up with the dream of a unilateral world where the USA was the dominant world power, and they used any unscrupulous means to do whatever it took to get there, and end of story . . . . the end does not justify the means.
“And yet our personal experience and the study of history make it abundantly clear that the means whereby we try to achieve something are at least as important as the end we wish to attain. Indeed they are even more important. For the means employed inevitably determine the nature of the result achieved; whereas, however good the end aimed at may be, its goodness is powerless to counteract the effects of the bad means we use to reach it.” Aldous Huxley

The undertone here is pretty ominous, the pitch at which these so-called journalists are dispensing their "news" is changing. I have my suspicions about this ending by going down a road not many people want to go down. That's all I have to say about it for the moment.
