In the latest issue of Time published an article, Hillary Clinton “Why America is exceptional.” The answer to the headline question Clinton gives already in the subtitle: “America is the indispensable and exceptional because of our values”.
In principle, all States and even stateless peoples is irreplaceable and thanks to its exceptional values. And only the people are relatively young, such as American, do not realize this simple truth. All my childhood was selfish. Obviously, this is by the formation of a new organism. And the peoples too.
Biblical Jews, ancient Greeks and Romans, the ancient Chinese, the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Persians, the first Khalifa young Islamic community and medieval Christians all experienced a peculiar USA today, the company’s faith in their exclusivity, uniqueness and beneficence for mankind their values. All tried to impose these values through military expansion, and many with the genocide of dissenters.
Could also state that pre — election article, designed with a set of slogans to help Hillary gain a few percent more votes among marginal electorate, which in all countries to be proud of being “exclusive” to the state and people. And to close this topic.
Neither from the point of view of literature, nor from the point of view of propaganda, nor from the point of view of political (including in terms of international positioning USA) article Hillary will not be anything new. It is all secondary. Even the slogan of exceptionalism, which is based on the idea of the right of States to intervene in their Affairs around the world, borrowed from Obama.
The hegemon loses credibility
However, this material is to understand. First, it was published the presidential candidate of the United States, which was ready to vote not less than half of the American electorate. Clinton is still considered the favorite in the race. Even if in recent weeks, Trump will be able to win, still its position is in the US a strong base of support, this position will have to be considered.
Second, this relatively short article gives a clear and transparent answer to the question — why the U.S. lost the global confrontation? And not just lost, and lost immediately (from the point of view of history and having the ideal position).
Back in the mid 90s, Washington was not only global hegemon. The United States enjoyed unquestioned authority among the majority of humanity. Not only the politicians but also among peoples. It is on this authority, trust and willingness to follow American recipes and was based the power of the United States.
This is not an American know-how. Any Empire built on the credibility of the political system, the attractiveness of culture and the General credibility of its policy. As soon as the authority, credibility and attractiveness disappeared, no army could not maintain the Empire at the beginning of the loss of hegemony in its sphere of influence, and then together.
The army cannot be placed everywhere. Local resistance to skillfully carve out a separate garrisons and occupying the whole of the case long before our era. To strengthen the Empire was possible only where the local population saw in the Imperial legislation of protection from the tyranny of the national elite.
At the beginning of the third Millennium, the United States finally made a bid for power in international politics. At that moment, their credibility went downhill. Washington no longer considered by the peoples as a protection against corrupt local elites. On the contrary, he relied on corrupt local compradors who, oshalev of impunity under American protection, looted everything bessantina.
No authority, no protection of the Imperial legislation, thrives sanctioned by the Imperial Governor (the U.S. Ambassador) robbery. Sooner or later there is resistance. The resistance put forward new politicians. Someone of US have time to kill or overthrow someone there. For others it’s just not strong enough. In a very short time, already by 2008, in Washington notice that the resources (including military) strained and insurrections against Imperial domination, which should be addressed, is becoming more and more.
To stop the aggression
Then the power comes Obama with a concept very similar to the modern concept of trump. He insists that the US should cease to pursue an aggressive foreign policy that they needed to curtail its military presence abroad, because it is very expensive and not justified.
The US needs to focus on restoring stability of his order shattered the financial-economic system and the restoration of international credibility. And then, with a strong rear base, restoring resources, you can return to the ideas of American hegemony and the promotion of American values.
However, a large part of Obama’s team shared the views of Hillary Clinton. This group of the American elite believed that the US cannot retreat and let to question their right to world domination. While not denying the existence of internal problems, these people propose to solve them by stimulating the advancing destruction of the rest of the world.
In fact, it was the approach of the nomadic Horde. If resources are scarce, and they need — you need someone to Rob. Only the object of the robbery was to be not a separate city, not even a separate country, and the world.
At the beginning of Obama’s position, Clinton had the right to exist, because the resources and capabilities of the United States seemed limitless, and organized resistance to Washington on the world stage was absent. It was hoped to deal with individual renegades (including Russia) to death to intimidate others.
Today the situation is completely different. The resource base of the United States shrank. They have already lost to China the position of the first economy in the world. They may brag about the power of his army, but the army did not dare to direct confrontation with the very limited Russian group in Syria. The closest allies of the EU are already preparing escape routes from Washington, and the rest of the world (Asia, Africa and Latin America), does not conceal his hatred and hopes for the final fall of the yesterday’s leader, vows revenge for past humiliation.
What offers in his article, Clinton
Half the article is devoted to extolling the exclusive power of the U.S. army and demand to the nation “to support the people in uniform”. Then another paragraph about the values: the rights of ethnic and religious minorities, women, LGBT and people with disabilities.
If you squeeze all the water out, Clinton offers to provide American leadership by forcing (on the bayonets of the American army) spaces of “positive discrimination” in favor of other ethnic (for a particular state) of the element (as European practice shows, often extremist), religious sects and other deviations from the norm (including sexual deviancy).
This program had the right to exist ten years ago. But since Clinton’s team, due to the weakness of Obama, had the opportunity to put an experiment on the world community. As a result, it became worse, and the US — the worst of all. Moreover, in ten years the world has changed, the possibility of Washington has decreased, and now even with armed force it will be difficult to achieve obedience from anyone, because the whole world knows that there is a force, ready to resist forcibly spreading American values.
In General, brief and chaotic essay international program Clinton — the program does not decline, not sunset, but the collapse of the United States. The American Empire under the hypothetical leadership of Hillary will go to its final collapse, as the moving rabbit in the jaws of a boa constrictor.
