We all would like peace and not to be threatened by nuclear annihilation but the American public is totally unfit to understand the world around them. The history they have been fed is a mythology of history, they are so brainwashed that they even vote against their own well-being, as in the case of voting down health care repeatedly. American history has been cleansed and sanitized to the degree that Americans believe in their own superiority. They don't think their country has been imperialist from the get-go, they deny their history of genocide both at home and abroad, they live in a fantasyland, a pillar of virtue. It is not hard to convince a population of their own superiority, it is the process necessary for making war on others. American exceptionalism is on par with the past Japanese exceptionalism, or of German/Nazi exceptionalism. The American psyche is something quite strange, and this is what they view the world through, not to mention the ongoing propaganda the corporate media feeds them every day. No America is a sick puppy and the world knows it. America is the greatest threat to world peace in our time. It is presently a tremendous shock to the psyche of the America population that the world has and is uniting against their unlimited aggression and inhumanity.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 10:44 amWhat we are now seeing in those who are supporting Donald Trump is such a "rising up". Those who support Trump are angry and feel separated from the government (which they call the 'deep state') because of what the government has done over the last 20 years (if not longer) in all our names. People have come to the realization that there is a real price to pay for seeking war and violence against other nations (basically supporting the leaders of other nations in taming their own populations). Therefore, Americans are rising up as they did at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 3:33 amInteresting insight! The power elite in America have the art of propaganda down to an art and treat its citizens like so many cattle, and it works. If the American people were aware of the horrendous global crimes their government has been subjecting the world community to, I believe they would rise up and take back the power. That, however, is wishful thinking and unlikely to happen, in the meantime the world community has to protect itself, and it is doing so.
In response to this rising up, (I suspect) the US government has more or less opened its borders to a controlled process of immigration from the rest of the world and (I suspect) its treasury to the leaders of foreign nations whom it has wronged. If that is indeed what the US is doing, then it is doing so in the name of peace. That is a good thing and should be done in order to prevent incredible violence.
We must all trust in the process of peace and seek it out. We must all seek to prevent violence. It cannot only be a 'local' effort by some of the world but not all of it. All that is happening is justice. We must all, therefore, allow justice to happen in a way that does not bring injustice and do what we must do in order to meet the needs of justice. And a lesson must be learned for all governments and all leaders and all people.
That is what I believe to be happening. I cannot prove it but I suspect that is what is happening. I am going to go with that assumption because I believe the alternative is far worse.

The mentality of the American people is quite wretched. They live in this bubble of self-aggrandizement, and yet so conditioned by the power elite they accept the absurd wealth of the one percent which makes them all disgusting. The mentality of the population such as it is, makes it understandable that they made Trump the president, the dumbest person ever to hold that office. His presidency reflects back on the public that made his presidency conceivable. America is dangerous, and the global community is handling this shift in power as tactfully as possible. If they were less strong America would have destroyed them, that is just a given, by the way they have behaved towards the global community in the past. Like I said the historical narrative of the American people is quite insane but it has been done to them, with the goal of world domination it has been a cruel master.
