America is slowly dying.

Can't they do it faster?

It has been poisoning itself for most of its life. A corrupt political system where money legally buys power; a corrupt media where money buys power; unregulated capitalism where money buys power. The US is the least democratic country on the planet and offers its citizens, on average the worst living standards in the developed world, the least freedoms and the least rights for workers.

I suppose that all of what you say there is true, but since it is, our 'news'-media refuse to publish articles such as this (though I submit each of my articles to virtually all U.S. media and to most of the major ones in Britain). I used to think that America's news-media want to publish only articles that most readers would want to read, but I now know that that simply isn't the case. They want to publish only articles that America's billionaires wouldn't object to being published. That is how it actually works.

And that applies to most Western mainstream media, if not all because all of it is controlled by a very few rich individuals.

The US is a hypocritical war monger and global thug, throwing its weight and bombs around. It could have prevented the Ukraine war ever happening by honouring Minsk and accepting the more than reasonable Russian peace deal.

It could have prevented the slaughter in Syria, Palestine and Lebanon but forcing the Israelis to behave. It did none of that and while it was always disliked and despised by some now it is detested and despised by most.

The United States did not prevent these wars because they started them themselves.

Because our government enables other countries to hate us by the things they do or don't do.
