A Fraying Empire - News of the Fortnight

Some weeks can make an idea crystallize

This week’s episode covers how the news of the last two weeks really cements the idea of the twilight of the post-WW2 American empire. Multiple flash points showing misplaced priorities. A hurricane at home that takes backseat to a proxy war in Ukraine that is in trouble, an escalating Middle East conflict were Israel keeps assassinating leaders inducing kinetic responses, FEMA funds spent on immigrants instead of hurricane affected areas, a debate contrasting a serious candidate versus a folksy puppet, and a nominee that does not understand hypotheticals.
