Will the U.S. and U.K. Survive China?

I find it really strange that no one speaks about war. It is as though you had in effect a collective removal, as if no one wants to face reality. The silence is understandable, if only for historical reasons, because of our bad conscience. Less understandable in the left wing — including the ecologist area and the alternative globalization area.

Then I ask two questions. Addressed to all. Right, left. And also — I want to ruin me — to center.

Which of you is sure that this or the next US president will tell the truth to his 300 million fellow citizens — namely, that they will have to reduce their standards of living during the next generation? (The same question goes to Merkel, Sarkozy, Berlusconi’s successor, etc.; but it is worth less because all of these countries are not armed as America is and have not been empires for the last 60 years).

Somebody will ask, astonished, why do I ask such a question? I will explain: If China continues to grow at average annual rate of around 10 percent of its GDP, in five years we will face one China and a half. And there will not be space on this planet for America, with its 300 million inhabitants (who consume infinitely) and China, with its 1300 million inhabitants (who are beginning to consume too).

Second question: Does anyone have an idea of how the U.S. and Britain, youngest brother and companion — both technically in bankruptcy — will solve the problem of their monstrous indebtedness? Has it not touched anyone’s mind the possibility (which has happened already at different historical moments) that the nine bankers who meet once a month on Wall Street, in secret (source New York Times), may simply decide to cancel all accounts and mess up the table with a beautiful war resolution? If they were wise they would not. But we know already that they are not wise. Otherwise, the world would not be where it is.

After all, there is no other way, in brief, to get rid of the tens of trillions of fake dollars that have flooded the world. But they — as we know — would not lose anything, except perhaps their lives, because that money is virtual and they have their real nest eggs safe.

In conclusion, I do not believe that it’s healthy to sit quietly and wait, knowing that the country militarily stronger than all the others put together is about to lose its imperial status. And its citizens have not realized yet what is happening around them. So much so that they do “tea parties”, at which they still dream of giving orders to China.
