This, is really telling us what we already know from the perpecitve of academic research. It speaks volumes for the gullability of US voters and citizens generally. IMO, America has had too good for too long (since the late 40s). And while it has grown fat on the back of a system that gave it more power than it knew what to do with, more power than any other sovereign nation, the USians have grown complacent, entitled, and enthralled by their power, blind to the work that is required to maintain a thriving and healthy social democracy. America, like all empires had it coming.

“For Orbán in Hungary, it took about four years, for Vučić in Serbia, it took eight years, and for Erdoğan in Turkey and Modi in India, it took about 10 years to accomplish the suppression of democratic institutions that Trump has achieved in only one year,” Lindberg says.” Read more: https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2026/mar/17/trump-is-aiming-for-dictatorship-thats-the-verdict-of-the-worlds-most-credible-democracy-watchdog

"Rodríguez is in the delicate position of trying to satisfy both Trump and Venezuelans still loyal to Maduro, who was taken to New York along with his wife for trial on US-issued drug trafficking charges."

💔 U.S. hypocrisy exposed:

✅ Their intervention = "humanitarian"
❌ Russia's = "war crime"

✅ Their oil = "free market"
❌ Iran's oil = "sanctions"

✅ Their nukes = "deterrence"
❌ India's nukes = "concern"

✅ Israel gets weapons = "self-defense"
❌ Iran gets drones = "terrorism"

Global South sees it all.
We're not blind anymore.

🇮🇷 Iran was projected as weak, but proved to be a strategic powerhouse.

🇺🇸 America thought: "Khamenei is gone, Iran will fall in 2 days."
Reality: Iran's proxies, oil warfare & diplomacy have U.S. retreating.

💰 1 Missile = $1 lakh
🛡️ U.S. interceptor = $3 million+

🎯 13 U.S. soldiers dead. 200+ injured.
📉 95% drop in Strait of Hormuz traffic.
🛢️ Oil = $125/barrel.

The era of U.S. dominance is ending.
Global South must unite.
