Again, thank you for your piece. As a social philosopher and political scientist, it's always been my opinion that the USA is envious of one historical fact: it never got to truly colonize any other country like the old powers did. Hell, even the Dutch can claim global birth to other nations. Of course, this is because the USA was the last super power to sit at the table. Since that is case, they have decided to placate their envy by reversing the "evils done." And this country does that by destabilizing everyone else. The USA has adopted the foreign policy that it can disrupt the financial mechanisms and undermine the social and political structures of other countries. Alas! They've succeeded wonderfully since WWII. And in doing so, the USA has become proud. Too proud. They underestimated the resolve of their political rival: the Communist. Since their victory against us in Vietnam, the Marxists have spotted our strategy. In response, they have started setting fires all across our nation causing us to change our gaze and look inwardly. In doing so, the Communist has circumvented our political attention to form grotesque alliances with other countries, but only after informing them of the true nature of American Democracy. Here we are now: BRICS.
