The United States’ (US) exorbitant privilege is eroding rapidly as the world loses confidence in its ability to pay back its loans. Please click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/loNuUrYMtNE
That is great news for democracy, as the US has always used its wealth to finance its imperialism at home and around the world.
At home, 40 million Americans live today in poverty, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans too.
Moreover, the US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ (UN) resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty too. The UN’s annual Puerto Rico decolonization hearing will be on Monday, June 16, 2025.
Abroad, the US started the war in Ukraine to steal the wealth of the Russian Federation, and is looking to do the same to the People’s Republic of China using Taiwan as a pretext.
And, the US has unconditionally supported the genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine against international law.
The US is imperialism forever.
