The United Nations’ Rebuke to the US for its sanctions policy against Venezuela and the wicked consequences of it continues the UN movement from vasseldom to the US to independence from it. The Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons will not go away. When the US has fallen, the unity of the Nations becomes a possibility.

For the history is rewritten. The US bullying of China, Cuba, central America, the USSR and much of Africa is now on the table. The wickedness of the Vietnam War and the Iraq War and other aggressions are obvious. The dominant role of the US in the Cold War is suddenly seen. When the Cold war ended, it carried on War in the Middle East and elsewhere. The self-proclaimed peacekeeper was the problem.

Internally, its racism is on the table a lifetime after Paul Robeson. Its corporate bullying is also clear. Its self-indulgent, CO2 generating lifestyle is terminally flawed. Now it is a “failing” power with a long historic trade deficit, locked in patterns of self-indulgence and incapable in its Trump manifestation of political principle, thought or justice. It needs, like the Prodigal Son, to come to its senses.

We face the insufferable nature of “superpowers”, wrapped in their own self adulation, the same insufferinability we see in Boris, that tinny echo of the imperialist Churchill, the yapping cur at the feet of the superpower. The US is now accountable. Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus – “narrow” because that is the way the Superpower thinks – “our UN”. But now the world is no longer underlings. It sees the militarism of Caesar, this stream of wrongs, this wicked activity to stay top dog, this industry of enemy creation, this use of the rest of the world. The US is off its pedestal.

This is said by a deep friend of the US and has no rancour. It will not be sidelined as oppositional thinking. It just happens to be true. God brings down the proud and unlovely whomsoever they are, gently with repentance, but with a bump without it.

If the Emperor has to eat grass so be it, but it were better humble itself with a few big apologies to Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Vietnam, the USSR, China and a few other countries, so that we have the big world reset and the United Nations can discover they really are friends, because as Jesus said, we can love our enemies, actually quite easily.
