The USA are still the first superpower of the world. They've been a great country for decades. They saved europeans from themselves, and they did it twice. In spite of the stupid Playa Girón episode, they kept being the guardian of Western Civilization.

They showed determination and decisiveness during the Grenada (1983), Panama (1989) and Irak-Kuwait (1991) crises.
But things started to change, and the handling of the World Trade Center attack was surprisingly clumsy.

Right now, the first superpower looks incapable and unwilling to save europeans from themselves one more time. Besides, europeans don't look eager to get saved by Americans: quite the contrary.

They, europeans, look comfortable with their decay, with the destruction of their culture, with their muslims, with their tolerance toward intolerants, with the "correction" and "improvement" of their literature, with their communists, with their political correctness.

But this bleak picture is far to be complete: the handling of venezuelan crises displays the misery of our time.
Venezuelan false opposition is what it is, and that's been evident for years, since the first (and fake) negotiation sessions in 2003.

After those dialogue meetings, there were more: 2014, 2016, 2017. It's impossible american authorities were not aware of that. It's impossible they were not aware of chavist frame of mind either. It is impossible they did not know chavism is criminal in its essence.

It is hard to believe that the authorities of a great superpower got decieved two times by that gang of rogues: february the 23rd and april the 30th.
It is hard to believe they got mocked by Guaidó.

If they do not have the will to solve Venezuelan crisis (which is theirs, like it or not -it's not a matter of likes and dislikes, it's reality), or if they are not able to, we are witnessing the decay of an empire.
