It is not just China and or Russia that gets only the fear being exuded from the USA….it is the whole world right now and it is very very obvious as you sit on the outside of the USA…
Two perfect new examples and I mean perfect, as they fit perfect to what is happening. Did I say perfect?
BEDMINSTER, N.J. — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he could exert pressure on more Chinese companies such as technology giant Alibaba after he moved to ban TikTok.

And nothing says fear and scared of losing power as this next link…
The Trump administration will be following up on its promise to “stop at nothing” to extend an arms embargo on Iran, said the US ambassador to the UN, Kelly Craft, said after UN Security Council voted not to adopt a resolution that aimed at prolonging the blockade. “Under Resolution 2231, the United States has every right to initiate snapback of provisions of previous Security Council resolutions,” Craft said in a statement on Friday. “In the coming days, the United States will follow through on that promise to stop at nothing to extend the arms embargo.”Resolution 2231, addressed by Craft, endorsed the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, from which the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew in May 2018.
Except I still remember that the USA is the one who pulled out and reneged upon the Resolution 2231….not Iran and not the other members and I remember that the other members asked many times for the USA to quit playing games….now we still play games and we are the ones who walked away!
So we act like Iran is and are terrorist, when we actually “fit the bill” much better as terrorists, and we are trying to sever ties with more huge Chinese companies:
It is all fear, fear of competition, control and losing…
“I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always … so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don’t, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.” ― Yann Martel
I think that sums up America pretty good….fear is not always a good driving force. Fear causes us to sometimes go around the true fight and showing what you are made of. Not looking very good right now….fear has taken over America…
Somewhere I lost the plot and or the USA lost the plot:
I think it is a bit of both. I woke up and grew up and the US went to sleep and regressed. Then something woke the US up and they went into panic mode. Instead of meeting the issues being laid out in front of us legally, morally and methodically. We chose the low road of fear and definitely allowed greed to guide that fear…
Fear can be used to better yourself and facing fear is a good thing. I have had to face my fears many times and do what is right and not walk a path around those fears…
I just faced a big issue for me. I had to repair the roof of our barn and I am here to tell you that I am scared to deaths of heights. I mean so scared that I get weak and shake uncontrollably. I have to meet this fear head on and while it will never go away, I have to embrace it and hold its hand while I do what has to be done. I am fixing the roof of the barn and yes, fear of heights, has made my work harder. But I am taking it one step at a time and using it to accomplish what I have to do….I am almost done fixing the roof…
There is a right way and a wrong way:
There two ways to deal with things in the world. As a country like America, they can either follow the rule of law and allow competition, other countries and people to be what they want to be and to fight square on face to face. E.g. – Amazon is losing to Alibaba, then Amazon needs to do what it can to be better than Alibaba. If GM cannot compete then GM needs to change. If Iran does not bow down and kiss your feet? Then you need to reassess how you approach them. Always look at how you are creating the situation first, then maybe you will see the errors you have made. If Russia wants to work with you? Then look in the mirror and see how the hate you are spewing is clouding your judgment. This is on and on with millions of things daily around the world…
The other way we can do things with the world is, “Act like we are the cat’s meow!” and treat everyone like crap…
Looks like we have decided that, “Treating everyone like crap!” is the answer:
That is the way to isolation, which leads to more fear and more fear applied the wrong way….leads to more decisions that lead to more isolation and more fear. Not even greed of money can stop the inevitable decline of our country…
Everyday, the distance between the USA and the rest of the world gets farther and farther. Every attack upon a company by the US Gov shows the world what we are about. Every sanction applied illegally, shows who we are in face value. Every treaty we break, every handshake we break, every country we attack, every sanction we apply? All lead to a cumulative effect and the end result is one of total lost trust in the USA…
I am telling you that fear and greed are huge deterrents to a good life and right now they both rule America and her actions around the world…
Something changed in the USA and well maybe it was always there? I guess I chose to ignore it for a very longtime. Yet so did the whole world and now I watch the world waking up to what the US is really about…
