What a sleazy, incompetent, unprincipled and cruel administration

The Trump wanted to save Western civilisation but failed. 

Instead his behaviour reveals to an astonished world that America is an empire in great decline. 

It is worthy of the ironic pen of Edward Gibbon.

Donald Trump bought up to a $1 million worth of Nvidia stock on January 6, a week before the Commerce Department broke with its policy hitherto and approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. Shortly after this news came out but attracted little attention in the media, he told reporters on the plane flying back from Peking that China "chose not to" approve purchases of the chips because "they want to develop their own."  

How sleazy this administration is, the most corrupt in American history. 

Here is a BBC investigation of insider dealing suspicions involving Trump.

Here is a long list of disturbing stories by Isaac Saul. I'd be more impressed by it if he remembered Chris Christie's name, but still..

Unlike his first administration where his senior appointees wanted to save the republic from him these people are committed to him. This is not because they share his ideals. They have only one thing in common which is that they are all opportunists.

This includes the one who seemed genuine and admirable, Tulsi Gabbard.

Here is Scott Ritter 16 days ago on 1st May. 

<The fact that Iran doesn’t preemptively strike the US, Israel and its Gulf Arab allies at this juncture is beyond me.

There is no ceasefire—the US blockade is an act of war which nullifies any agreement that may have been in place.

Moreover, the social media posts of a commander in chief clearly signaling aggressive intent makes preemptive legal under Article 51 of the UN Charter, citing clearly established preemption precedence.

The United States is not only led by war mongers and war criminals.

We are led by the most ignorant military leaders in history.

Who believe their self-induced testosterone laced fantasies over the harsh fact-based truths of reality.

Not only will the US lose any future conflict with Iran.

We will deserve to lose.

Removing the Trump/Hegseth/Bessant/Rubio cabal is necessary for the survival of our Constitutional Republic.>

Nothing has happened since then to invaliditate what he wrote. I too do not understand why Iran holds back except I suppose they do not want to provoke more attacks by the USA including on schools and hospitals. 

But it's not about Trump, Hegseth, Bessant and Rubio. Kamala might well have attacked Iran, perhaps saying she did so for feminist reasons as she slaughtered schoolgirls.

It's not about Netanyahu either.  

If the Israeli opposition wins power almost nothing will change. 

Is it about evil? 

It's much more about the struggle of a declining empire to maintain its power. This endangers its allies, who we now clearly see are vassals, thrust into conflict with its enemies. 

Great Britain struggled against Germany and Japan and resigned her empire to the USA. 

How different that was from the USA struggling against China by fighting unprovoked wars against Venezuela and Iran.
