Here's Waldo
Miguel Afonso Caetano"US imperialism is running wild. Under Joe Biden, the White House flagrantly violated international law by enabling Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. Now Donald Trump has gone even further down the same path.
So far, his administration has extorted Washington’s European partners, launched air strikes against Iran, declared its intention to occupy Greenland, and kidnapped Venezuela’s head of state, while continuing to support Israel’s genocide.
The United States has directly assaulted the “rules-based international order” that it once helped establish, undermining the United Nations, withdrawing from the World Health Organization, and imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court.
As terrifying as these imperialist offensives may be, they are a sign not of strength but of weakness. This is not simply the weakness of the individuals who happen to be at the helm, but of the United States as a whole. While Biden’s senility and Trump’s capriciousness have certainly played a part, US imperialism’s frightening trajectory stems from deeper developments.
The US imperium today is in a severe crisis. What we are witnessing is not its resurgence but rather the symptoms of its frantic decline."

Growing US Aggression Is a Symptom of Imperial Decline
From the Americas to the Middle East, the US is deploying the crudest forms of imperial aggression to shore up its power. This is ultimately a sign of weakness rather than strength, as the foundations upon which the US empire rested are crumbling.
