actually this was predictable since 1990's
after fall of soviet union americans missed a huge chance to change their politics...
they could have stopped the arm race and also stop supporting puppet governments in third world and
would open a new era of global cooperation... but instead of that George Bush senior and his sick advisors thought
fall of soviet union could be a chance for them to become the only power...and other presidents like Clinton or
Bush junior just continued the same stupid politics....(although I have to admit George Bush junior really showed a new
level of stupidity)

so America focused on three things
A) trying to weaken Russia and expanding NATO
B) support even more dictators to keep the US neocolonial control over the recources
C) continuing with putting huge amount of US money on huge useless weapon systems
D) put more and more embargos on countries like IRAN, Venezuela, Cuba etc (instead of a cooperation)
E) invading again and again countries to keep their global dominations
these steps were very stupid cuz
step A leaded to more tensions between CHINA and Russia with USA, so those powers started to get closer and
step B created more poverty and hate in third world and by growing numbers of people living in cities in third world
since last decades, people in third world aren't that easy to manipulate by foreign powers as they were in 1950's...for
example in IRAN in 1953 almost 80% of population lived in villages and had no acces to news, some even didn't know
that a putsch happened in Tehran till few weeks later...today if police kill some demonstrators, few minutes later the entire
world know....
step C was also a big mistake...if in a body just a single part like the head would grow, your body wouldn't be healthy
and stable...American ecconomy
was getting more and more dependend on arm contracts and third world money flewing to USA through dictators....at same time
while Americans build expensive stealth bombers and huge radars, other part of their ecconomy lost their leadership...in lot of important
industry sectors american ecconomy lost their leaderships to Europe and Asia...and american were stupid enough to belive they
can forever get cash to build new fighters and bombers...Americans just didn't realize that the time of arm race was over...so they kept
investing in a dinosour era industry..which is not any more belonging in the new time of a gobalized world .....
STEP D was also damn stupid movements by USA, cuz by putting embargos on huge number of countries USA lost lot of
markets to other countries if ....for example if USA stoped selling countries like IRAN electronic productcs, Japanese,Chinese
and Europeans jumped in or IRAN developed
own technology
Step E was probally in short therm the most stupid oney: in a world where more and more people are living in cities, have acces to news
and need water....classical invasions don't work any more...in IRAQ and Afghanistan American are facing huge problems..they daily get attacked
and at same time the local population need electricity, water, jobs...so what can a super power do there....but idiots like Rumsfeld thought
wars of 21 th centuries would be like the Hollywood movies..well, that was a huge mistake
or electricity, invading a country
