Jack Rasmus: US Empire Isn’t Going Quietly, China War, Restricting Democracy, & BRICS Antipole

Dr. Jack Rasmus discusses the decline of American Empire which has suffered a serious financial blow and militarily is in retreat. He gives his view on the Ukraine War and the March 22nd terror attack in Russia and believes we will continue to see escalation. The dollar is the linchpin of the global empire and it continues to be used less as we see the acceleration of BRICS as an antipole. Decline will be protracted, it's a process. The elites or the supranational financial capitalists/imperialists seek to continue maintaining and amassing global wealth. EU is done economically. The Pentagon is planning for war with China, but not before 2030. The empire isn't going away quietly. The propaganda and censorship machine of the one-party system will intensify as our current neoliberal regime cannot continue without further restricting democracy. *Support Geopolitics & Empire: Donate https://geopoliticsandempire.com/donations Consult https://geopoliticsandempire.com/consultation Become a Member https://geopoliticsandempire.substack.com Become a Sponsor https://geopoliticsandempire.com/sponsors **Visit Our Sponsors Above Phone https://abovephone.com/?above=geopolitics Websites Jack Rasmus Website https://jackrasmus.com X https://twitter.com/drjackrasmus Kyklos Productions http://www.kyklosproductions.com About Dr. Jack Rasmus Dr. Jack Rasmus, Ph.D Political Economy, teaches economics at St. Mary’s College in California.
