I'm sorry not having enough time to read all of it, lest understand that snail-diagram at all, but see that line: "US is spending too much on wars..."
With the way it's been built for decades, it can't proceed differently. Wars are the only available trick that keeps maintaining the value of dollar afloat despite the inflation spilled all over the place. This, in returns, also forces pretty much all the rest of the world to follow course and play the inflation game as well. BUT since inflation hurts capital, capital is "forced" to get its money elsewhere, faster and easier, and economical equity is not how it's done.
Rampant inflation maintains the power of the financial (and oil) moguls, be the populace of the whole world damned. They print the money, you need it. But as you're getting poorer, the only way to keep the circus going is to make crappier products, and allow massive borrowing (burrowing some would say)... which is all good for private banks since it's how they do substantial profit. Meanwhile, more and more resources are consumed that way and the whole planet becomes a junk yard. Cue: the artificial island of floating pollution. Or I could talk about the lacking recycling system for many electronics (and let's just clear this as well, recycling computers, pads and microwaves also produces a lot of pollution).
I'll try to take a look at some of the articles, although I don't see how one could make China become the enemy of the US.
They like to play big bears with their economical and military ties with neighbouring countries, but without the rest of the world, all the shit they produce couldn't be sold, and their country would go down presto.
And I never see them ever siding with Russia beyond that unconvincing bluff game they pretend being good at.
The real enemy of the US, and China, is Europe. It has a strong shared history, some easily identifiable ethnic concerns and is a major economical zone - some say the leading one. If they truly decided to become independent and act in their own best interests instead of being US' puppies, there would certainly be some serious tension rising.
...
In fact, that video seems to really be full of shit at times.
Take the drug war. We know it could end tomorrow if there weren't very lucrative deals made behind our backs between some services and else (see drug production rising in Afghanistan while the US is supposed to making progress in pacifying the region, like, you know, oopsie) - anyone in his sane mind would ask Afghanistan to stop producing drug, and would act fiercely, invade that country and burn the fields if they'd refuse to comply. Why? Because you can't stop traffic, but you can easily stop large scale production.
Same goes with Columbia. It's all bullshit political talk. I wouldn't mind literally nuking all those patches of forest ablaze if it were to end the production, assuming we'd live in a better world where Columbia would be the real and unique evil and still giving us the middle finger. Same goes with Afghanistan. As far as I'm concerned, any drug production is an act of war and mountains could be atomized into plains, I wouldn't cry a drop if it were to send a strong message.
This video reeks off Teletubbies leftism at its worst.
