TEHRAN (Iran News) –In recent decades and because of several international events and conflicts that the U.S. had been involved in most of them, most political analysts and experts have claimed that the U.S. is on the verge of decline and this big power is falling and losing its grandeur and even this belief has been confirmed by many Western experts.
For centuries the U.S. has been the world economy number one and it is now losing its position to China and the U.S. is even losing its political influence and power in the world and many nations have turned their back on this arrogant country.
Recent Ukraine-Russia war may trigger the collapse of the U.S. sooner than one could have thought of it while Washington is supporting the war to make most of it either economically or politically.
A famous French expert has recently claimed that the U.S. monetary control of the world will collapse if Russia resists Washington’s sanctions and survives with Chinese support during the course of the war with Ukraine.
In an interview with Le Figaro on Friday, French historian and anthropologist Emmanuel Todd said, “If the Russian economy offers long-term resistance to sanctions and manages to bleed the European economy white and manages to survive with Chinese support, US monetary control of the world will collapse and with it, the US’ ability to finance its mammoth trade deficit for next to nothing.”
Todd stressed that the U.S. and its European allies are involved in the war and cannot get out of it before Moscow.
“This war has become existential for the United States. It cannot get out of the conflict before Russia. They cannot let go. This explains why we are now in an open-ended war, in a confrontation that is bound to result in the collapse of one side or the other,” Todd added.
He also recalled a piece of analysis offered by Professor John Mearsheimer, a leading politician at the University of Chicago, who argued that whereas for Russia this conflict was “existential,” for the U.S. it was just another game among other countries, and that victory or defeat in it would be of little importance to the U.S.
“But this analysis is insufficient. Biden now has to hurry. America is fragile and the Russian economy’s resistance is pushing the US imperial system toward the abyss. Nobody had expected the Russian economy would be able to withstand the ‘economic power’ of NATO,” Todd said, referring to Mearsheimer’s analysis.
He is convinced that the United States is in a long-term drawdown and, given its declining influence in the world, wants to push for more influence in its “main bulwarks” acquired after World War II, namely Europe and Japan.
The recession of the world economy has little to do with the issue of military conflicts in Ukraine, the main reason for the collapse is the heavy Western sanctions against countries like Russia, has said an analyst.
Meanwhile, Todd went on to say that the collapse of the European economy poses many risks for the United States itself.
The expert further emphasized that the war in Ukraine “leads to a real economy that allows for gauging the real wealth of states and their productive capacity.”
He also mentioned the doubling of Russian wheat production after the imposition of the first major sanctions in 2014, as well as Russia’s leading position in the construction of nuclear power plants not only domestically but also abroad.
Todd believes that a military conflict’s outcome depends on both sides’ ability to produce weapons. The historian also notes that engaging in a war of attrition would reduce the influence of advanced US military technologies used by Ukraine.
He further emphasized that “we have transferred so many industries that now we don’t know if our military factories are able to maintain their desired production speed or not.”
Since the beginning of the Ukraine war, the U.S. and its European allies have imposed unprecedented waves of economic sanctions against Moscow while supplying large rafts of heavy weaponry to Kiev. Moscow has been critical of the weapons supplies to Kiev, warning that they will prolong the war.
Despite all of these unfair actions against Russia and sometimes against other nations, the U.S. is realizing that it is no more the big power or at least for most independent nations, and this is a big warning to the U.S. which is currently struggling with domestic and international challenges and this is what makes most experts and analysts say that the U.S. will have the fate like what the former Soviet Union had, and this country will collapse as the rift among its people is widening and people do not trust their statesmen and they want to get rid of the current condition and any moment the country may explode and the time bomb in the U.S. has started its ticking and the explosion is imminent but only time matters and all incidents show that the collapse is imminent.
