Not to rattle any cages, but I recently found out that my high school course on american history (in Norway) was more accurate than most american curricula on the subject. So many of the states simply "rearrange" the history books sligthly. The US really is an odd country; having among the best universities in the world, and yet some of the worst primary education of the western world 🤔

Actually, the US media has covered pretty much everything here. Most of bevan's research comes from that. What this series does better is connect all the dots. it's hard to do that in 3 or 4 columns or in one evening news segment, and the US media lived with it day to day. The sheer volume of red flags they had to deal with smothered the capacity for a more forensic overview - if that's not an oxymoron.

For a visual representation of what is happening in America, take a look 👀 at Thomas Cole’s ‘The Course of Empire’. It’s 5 magnificent paintings symbolizing the rise and fall of empire, like the Greek, Roman or present day America (not united, more like divided states). The titles of each are: The Savage State; The Arcadian or Pastoral State; The Consummation of Empire; Destruction; and Desolation. Sadly, we have certainly entered the 4th (destruction) scenario. It’s just a matter of time. ‘Everything Trump Touches Dies’ - Rick Wilson (former Republican)

TDS rampant in this comment. 1. Anyone who knows history knows historians don’t consider “destruction” a phase of empires. So that’s why you had to choose an artist instead of experts on empires to associate the fall of empire with Trump. 2. In Cole’s 4th painting, “destruction” is depicted via invasion and takeover of an enemy force, not actions of its leader against the people. Are you trying to suggest under Trump US will be invaded? If so by who and when? 3. The artist of the painting at the time actually stated the works were inspired by the Democrat party,to which they rejected. Absolutely ridiculous this is a “top” comment. How do Aussies get TDS so hard?

3rd time trying to leave this comment let’s see if it stays up 1. “Destruction” is not a phase historians use to describe Empire cycles. Overextension is the 4th and cannot be instigated by any individual and is systematic 2. The artist depiction of destruction is via an enemy invasion. Are you suggesting USA will be invaded under Trump and by who and when? 3. The artist at the time said the works were inspired by the Democrat party.

Trump is a symptom and expression of desperate people with zero options....Either vote against your own interests or vote against your own interests and hurt the interests of those against your interests.
@tonydelacruz452 күн бұрын
We had 2 options and we chose Trump, try again in 4 years you big whiny babies. We had to deal with 4 years of Bidenflation, Ukraine, war in the middle east, invasion from the southern border, rampant crime, and a never ending stream of gaslighting and propaganda from the MSM.

...and an excellent reference to Pokemon cards on the desk there to hint at the massive number of terrible people in Trump's administration. Truly, law enforcement has "Gotta catch 'em all".

Blah blah blah, threat to democracy. Meanwhile zhalenskiy won't hold elections for national security or whatever, and the way things are going by the time they finally happen Ukraine will just be a big grave yard. Good luck buddy, guess you should have employed a better assassin 😂😂😂😂 God Blesses Trump!!

While I don’t support Trump & believe his reelection is a disaster for the United States, a less hegemonic US will be a good thing for the rest of the world. Australia has a fantastic opportunity to disentangle ourselves from the US & shift our focus to our region building strong relationships with China & South East Asia.
