Listen to a reading of this article: In response to questions he received during a press conference on Monday about Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin cementing a "new era" in strategic partnership between China and Russia, the White House National Security Council's John Kirby made no fewer than seven assertions that the US is the "leader" of the world.
There's a vast divide between the considered and restrained rhetoric that comes out of the Kremlin and China and the hysterical chest beating of the US.
I wonder if Americans would agree that they should rule the world at all cost. It is the Deep State and their masters who dictate to the White House, after all. It is those who will sit in their underground bunkers while the bombs fall and the world burns. So, let us be precise.
I didn't consent to this either. As a matter of fact I never consented to have a criminal organization use the military as a private security force to be used to kill poor people using poor people. Who gets the money? Not the dead bodies on the battlefield. Who gets the most out of the death of millions? Not the dead. It is very easy to see the truth just by following the money as always! The problem now is throw in some Mass Murdering Sociopaths and then money no longer matters it's all about who can kill the most people. These psychopaths do not need to be treated with anything less than utter disgust.
It can be seen that Kirby, who has modest abilities, did not really delve into his complicated knowledge of history ! Because if this did not exceed your abilities, then you would know that so far countless great empires, which have now fallen into the sinkhole of history (to our great pleasure :)) have been spouting the same false phrases by their empty-headed spokesmen in the past millennia !
Caitlin, you need to draw comparisons to the lead up to WWI where age old antagonists, the English and French ganged up on a newly federated and rapidly industrialising Germany to keep it "in it's place" and not disturb the "natural" 'world order' by forcing them (Germany) into war that was expected to be 'over for christmas'! Result: millions dead and, in the end, Germany ended up romping past both the English and French as measured by wealth. All the USofA is succeeding in accomplishing these days is to accelerate the awareness that the USofA is not required and can be increasing ignored to the benefit of the vast majority of the world's nations, the world's population and that of the planet's health in general.
The manner in which these various spokespeople talk to the world they supposedly lead seems to become increasingly blatant in its patronizing and derisive character. The western part - the one truly led - is probably swallowing this without notice. And deservedly so, the zombies they have become. The rest of the world is just getting nauseous.
Hmm. Your last line gives me an idea--if we could get a viral theme going worldwide, but ESPECIALLY in the US, like the Me Too phenomenon--in this case, people saying, "I do not consent to US domination of the world." Maybe the wording needs to be tweaked.
It's rather telling when I person asserts something along the lines of "I'm the greatest and you must listen to me and me alone!" over and over again. We call it "narcissism" and it is a personality disorder. Why should sane and healthy people need or even want to follow a "leader" who's inherently mentally ill? It's a nonsensical suggestion and should be ignored. Just like what China, Russia, et.al., are doing. They're ignoring the raving lunatic of the US capitalist class and going about their own business trying to do the best for their own and get along with everybody else. Thank heavens the rest of the planet isn't a dangerous atom-bomb-dropping nutjob like the US!
Agree 100%. I'm in Northern Ireland, a tiny country on a little island at the Western egde of the Eurasian land-mass. A political football that gets kicked around by the UK, USA and EU, and we never had a choice in any of this shite either.
I think the term self delusional sums up Amerikan view of its puffed up, Turkey chest, view of the world. I’ve only really considered self delusional at an individual level before not as group think. But really Amerika is promoted like a brand by its acolytes and like desperate salesman going door to door they will do and say anything to make that encyclopaedia sale. It just happens to be a very skewed, retarded, misleading Encyclopaedia full of lies and threats under the money off and super-super discount vouchers for McDonalds and Marlboro. With repayment plans that not even the interest can be paid off on and in the small print allowing Boy Scout camps with nuclear weapons to set up in your yard. Also those memberships to other clubs and subscriptions weren’t an offer but compulsory. You are now owned. No matter the words, insincere offers of support and mutual benefiting schemes and freebies this has all been a carefully crafted plan of occupation, not that thinly disguised if you stand back and look. But once owned you canst stand only kneel or bow.
But just like the US cash cow, the American defence complex it has to keep feeding like a dog chasing it’s own tail. This cannot be maintained indefinitely even with the ‘special technicians’ in green jumpers being brought in. The rot from inside is already happening. Whilst Amerikan superiority and ‘leadership’ is being rammed down the throat in far flung corners of the Empire, incarceration has become a business, healthcare has failed, an opioid epidemic in place, school shootings, homelessness. Bankrupt cities sticks in my mind. How on Earth does a city go bankrupt? But then the reality that the nation is bankrupt and has defaulted on interest payments to China kicks in. To wipe the debt clean, boost the cash cow means the salesmen are working overtime setting up and enforcing the brand with a special sale in the Pacific Rim. With 22 Boy Scout camps now set up and the sub contractors of the U.K. Australia signed up for the special promotion. We have prime seats for watching another Empire implode and take as many others with them as possible.
Anyone know where we can get some non GMO organic, salt free, popcorn in a recyclable if not reusable container? I know asking for fresh clean drinking water is too much to ask, even from rain clouds today. Well that’s enough time ranting with my feet on the ground I’m off to find a pink fluffy cloud to stick my head in. La,la, la, la, yep today I hunk I will go with that we’re all really just living in a software program stuck on a loop of self destruction!

I am chafing at John Kirby's leadership in English language vocabulary. You don't see that kind of vocabulary out of Russia or China.
I wonder if Americans would agree that they should rule the world at all cost. It is the Deep State and their masters who dictate to the White House, after all. It is those who will sit in their underground bunkers while the bombs fall and the world burns. So, let us be precise.
That was hilarious - thank you. US and its Biden are “leaders” ;-))
And don't forget that oldie, but goodie, the US president as "the Leader of the Free World"!
I didn’t give my consent to such US actions, in fact I marched against US aggression.
I didn't consent to this either. As a matter of fact I never consented to have a criminal organization use the military as a private security force to be used to kill poor people using poor people. Who gets the money? Not the dead bodies on the battlefield. Who gets the most out of the death of millions? Not the dead. It is very easy to see the truth just by following the money as always!

These psychopaths do not need to be treated with anything less than utter disgust.
Is John Kirby ever warped to think the USA has the trust and confidence of the world to naturally be its leader unless it’s all make believe.
Just the fantasy of “optics” is their leadership.
Now the USA financial fantasy bubble has been pin pricked and wouldn’t you know it there’s no Think left in the Tank!

"Leader" is just a cuddly way to say "empire".
