I was many hours writing this blog when I accidentally touched A or C or alt on my keyboard - and every thing I had written disappeared. I shall struggle on. But this may be a much shorter blog than usual.
In any base, I'm finding my sources less helpful as the U.S. increasingly loses much sense of what is happening to it. American world leadership is rapidly disappearing. It's latest ramping up of world bullying is focussing on a war with China (with China itself becoming rather like the U.S.) China is certainly the weaker one as a nuclear power. So the U.S. will have to use it's nuclear power to win - because the U.S. almost certainly could not win a conventional war against China.
However, Russia is the equal of the U.S. as a nuclear power, and it would slmost certainly support China. But nothing is very clear right now. Europe is drifting away from the U.S. Canada has abandoned all sense to beome a U.S. puppet.
The U.S. has lost any sense of what it is and what American values are.
Meanwhile, the whole world is crashing in as the Arctic simmers at 38 degrees centigrade - and that's very hot. It is quite possible that in the near future there will be NO ice or snow in that region - and that means the destruction of all wildlife in the region, and the impossibility of human life there. And that means this is a good time to sell your seaside cottage in Florida because, very soon, most of that state will be under water.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is putting on the heat to kill Julian Assange for his sin of telling the truth about U.S. crimes against humanity. That's why most of our commercial news media are careful not to tell the truth.
And what will Canada do? As little as possible, though it is quite possible the U.S. will tell Canada to join its coming wars. And Trudeau will do it because Canada became an American wimp in 1945. And the Canadian Legion will cheer and clap hands as we send Canadians to risk their lives for very greedy American capitalists who, like George Bush Jr., will avoid military service.
I don't know where the U.S. is going. But I would guess it's going to become much more divided and violent and ineffective.
Oh, and climate change - SOON - will be a major problem as Alberta refuses to even consider any controls and as Trudeau continues his refusal to do anything unless it is first approved by his billionaire masters.
But most of all, I'm appalled at the lack of any desire to really look closely at what is happening in the U.S. This news on this is very, very skimpy. It has not made it at all clear what the current crisis is about. It's not (or shouldn't be) just about Black lives mattering. That's not something that's going to be achieved by demonstrations. If Blacks are no longer to be victims to vicious police, that's nice. But much, much more is needed. There's the issue of Black poverty, of inferior education, of Blacks themselves preparing for what being equal should mean. There's the issue that many states are simply not going to accept Black equality or to cooperate in it.
And there are bigger problems. Billionaires run the U.S. There is no democracy. There never has been. (And how many Black billionaires have you ever heard of?)
These billionaires are impoveriishing most Americans (but not the super rich.) And they are sending Americans into wars which almost certainly (and soon) will drag down all humanity. The opportunity of creating a better world came in 1945. And we didn't use it. Instead, America's super rich (who own America's 'dmocracy'on
These are some of the themes I hit on before my computer crashed.
The problems are huge and most of them (almost all of them) are not even touched on. Instead, we have spent 75 years murdering people all over the world, and making every move (Korea, Vietnam, the middle east, Latin America, Syria) into a bloodbath to meet the greed of American (and Canadian and British) billionaires. Among the others, and a case that is potentially a very dangerous one, are American evangelicals who encourage the planet's destruction because it will get them (and only them) into heaven.
What the world, and especially the U.S., has done since 1945 is to create a world owned and to be plundered by the American wealthy - with their hangers on in Britain and Canada getting a share.
That's roughly what I wrote about in the section that was destroyed.

This is the result of forest destruction carried out by Brazil president Bolonaro, the good friend of Canada and the U.S. He's also the one responsible for the greatest coronavirus death toll after the U.S. (And, like his good friend Trump, he blames it all on those evil Chinese.)

Creating racial hatred. It's an old game. That's who the British got away with murdering over 400 million people. It explains the Belgian slaughter of the people of Congo.... That's why Hitler encouraged the killing of Jews and Gypsies. And then there's Bolsonaro and Trump - with Canadian help.
This is not the world that Canadians and others of 1945 had been fighting for.
The Canadian Legion pretends to the friend of Canadians who fought in our wars. In reality, it is the friend only of the greedy who betrayed all that Canadians fought for.

Well, destroying the Conservative Party is a good idea. Now we have to destroy the Liberal Party which is owned by the same billionaires who own the Conservatives.

We did nothing to make this a better world in 1945. We allowed the super rich to betray everything that so many had died to protect. Can we now save this world?
We, almost certainly, have very little time to do it.

As for China, I don't like what it has become. But making Chinese even more fearful of western aggression guarantees a war that nobody can win. And soon.
