The US has spread terror around 5 continents on its domination of hydrocarbon trade, to be able to negotiate its enormous and unsustainable debt with the world (half this world is China) while maintaining oil/$ relativity in a manageable manner so its internal social conditions don't turn into a boiling melting pot.

Is it possible? Can the world do without the US. Is North Korea more respected and reasonable than the lobotomized cowboys that represent the US?

In barely 15 months, Donald Trump's actions — from wars on Iran and Venezuela to trade and energy maneuvers — have upended international norms and made the U.S. a central driver of global instability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/08/world/trump-global-order-demolition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #iran #cuba #venezuela #panamacanal #greenland #theodoreroosevelt #un #who #middleeast #monroedoctrine

Trump, the demolition man of global order

The postwar idea of collective defense is giving way to something closer to protection racketeering.

I am so grateful my congressional representative Pramila Jayapal visited Cuba at this time. It is vital to support Cuba and its Western Hemisphere allies as well as its partners around the world. The current US administration wants to recreate the theme park island of Bautista criminality while the self determination of the Cuban people offers the planet medicine and music.

Congressmembers Jayapal and Jackson Return from Five-Day Congressional Delegation to Cuba

A pair of Democratic lawmakers is calling on President Trump to immediately end his oil blockade of Cuba. Democratic Congressmembers Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Jonathan Jackson of Illinois concluded a five-day congressional delegation to the island nation, during which they met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez and members of parliament. Congressmembers Jayapal and Jackson said they witnessed premature babies in incubators at risk because their ventilators could not function without electricity, and reported that food production on the island has dropped to just 10% of the population’s needs. In January, President Trump signed an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba, intensifying the six-decade-old U.S. embargo. But Trump made an exception for a Russian ship that reached the island last week carrying over 700,000 barrels of crude oil. It was the first petroleum shipment in three months to dock in Cuba. This is Congressmember Jayapal. Rep. Pramila Jayapal: “The moment is here for us to have a real negotiation between our two countries and to reverse failed U.S. policy of decades, a Cold War-era remnant that no longer serves the American people or the Cuban people.”
