I once heard that Arrogance is the last stage of an empire.

That is what it feels like, isn't it? Meanwhile BRICS are turning their backs on us and going their own way in the direction of prosperity through trade, without the need for dollar infrastructure - as though they are trying to keep out of the way of the rampaging, gun-slinging, drunken bully in the saloon while he shoots himself in the head :(

If we do not step up and join the multipolar world, we will become the largest third-world nation in history.

Yikes! Surely that is contrary to international law? It would certainly count as arrogant as well as unlawful?

Not to worry--the US gov't has unilaterally declared that it doesn't have to follow international laws or show up in international courts.

By the way, LNG is far more polluting than pipeline NG, and depending on the the type for ship used and other factors, can be almost 3 times as polluting as coal. How does this fit with the EU's climate-change mandates? Do they have a way to offset these numbers? And then there is the expense.

Never mind the expense. Just think about the profits! The monsters running the EU know perfectly well that man-made climate change is just a money-making scam and control mechanism.

Nice rant. Isn't it ironic that the guy who claims he wants things merit-based and calls Democrats communists, is looking for quotas and promises of purchases. This is what the old (failed) communism looked like. Aren't we supposed to be a capitalistic democracy where people trade freely for what they want. Trump is going to dictate to others countries - and us by default - what we will buy and from whom. I don't need a dictator, especially a man of such limited IQ and even less honor, to order me around. I suspect the rest of the World feels the same way. But as the World flounders without real leadership, who knows how the will play out.

I hope India isn’t going to be “cowed” - pardon the pun - by this 25% tariff + penalties. Unfortunately, they have a bigger bluff master and BS artist than Trump. He just might tuck his tail between his legs and surrender.

Excellent rant. Your words reminded me of the President meddling in the internal affairs of other nations... especially the legal system of Brazil and Israel... to get his 'buddies' off of the hook.

I'd say they exceed in arrogance---at least, the U.S. doesn't try to claim Biblical authority for it's actions...

in addition, Christian Zionists have falsely interpreted the OT (e.g.the Scofield Bible)to suit their political objectives, ignoring the significance that Jewish blood had been replaced by the UNIVERSAL impulse of the Representative of Humanity.

John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel has unleashed a

torrent of racial prejudice and white supremacy.
