When the American ruling financial class discovered that they could make or create, much more money gambling on Wall Street, than by actually producing things domestically, apart from weapons; it was all over for the Wathington Empire.
They simply don't have the industrial base anymore to fight a long, complex and demanding war on an industrial scale, even if the enemy is Russia that has a far smaller, on paper, economy.
Russia's victory in Ukraine has shown that it is possible to say 'no' to the Americans and NATO and beat them on the battlefield, if one is determined and highly organized. Fighting Russia, attempting to topple the regime in Moscow using the Ukrainians as the military battering ram to smash down the doors of the Kremlin, has been a spectacular failure. This won't go unnoticed around the world. The Americans can no longer fight wars themselves, they now rely on mercenaries and proxies like Ukraine.
The neoliberal economic model is a failure and now the neocon foreign policy crusade has ground to a complete halt in Ukraine and abject failure and defeat. The question is, what happens now? Will there be any kind of reckoning or do they just stumble on to the next military catastrophe pretending that nothing has changed?
