America's deteriorating global relations and the Death of the American Empire

America does not have a lot of friends left in South America after the latest spying fiasco's.
Basically treating the President of Bolivia as a criminal, mass surveillance of Brazilians etc.
Uruguay is now considering offering asylum to Snowden.
Chile has already signed non USD trade deals with China.
Brazil is part of the BRICS who are discussing replacing the USD as the world's reserve currency and replacing the Federal Reserve private bank as the major influencer on global monetary policy.
Basically America only has Colombia left as an ally in South America - due to America propping up it's current regime.

Europe is angry at America over the mass surveillance of their citizens, diplomats and officials.
Europe is slowly waking up to what Obama is really like - an authoritarian Fascist.
On his recent visit to Berlin, basically 4,000 supporters had to be bussed in.
In 2008 he got 200,000 who voluntarily wanted to see him.

America didn't have many friends in Africa and Obama has recently made it a heck of a lot worse, by :-
The Egyptian debacle
The war in Mali
The drone base in Niger
The moving of US troops into 35 more African countries.

Meanwhile China is successfully wooing Africa with things like :-
Including infrastructure improvement in natural resource deals - rail/road/communications etc.
Building a huge factory complex in Ethiopia which will employ 10,000 Ethiopians and export $4bn worth of cheap shoes a year. A few more factories like that and Ethiopians will be able to afford to but shoes themselves.
Offering 12,000 scholarships a year for free study at Chinese Universities - Africans will be able to take more of the higher paying jobs in the future, instead of Chinese engineers and managers.
China is offering jobs, the extraction of wealth from the ground and improved education.
America is offering bullying, bombs, bullets, conflict and war.

Australia and Japan are moving away from America and towards China, by signing non USD trade deals etc.
Japan says it is going to change it's military to be more reliant on itself instead of America.

The rest of SE Asia is moving more into the sphere and influence of China and away from America.
They can see which way the wind is blowing.

Pretty soon the only friends that America will have left are Israel and the UK.
And what the hell use are they going to be against the rest of the world?

Obama's recent Foreign Policy "achievements" - making 200 million more enemies just in the Muslim world.

It is a great pity that America's leaders are acting directly against the sage advice of the Founders :-

"Trade and friendly relations with all nations, entangling alliances with none."
"Trade makes nations wealthy, war and excessive military spending makes nations poor."

America is now spending 8% of GDP on the military - $1,219bn in 2012.
No nation can survive that for a prolonged period.
That's how the USSR finally went bust.
Neither can any nation withstand the stealing of over 15% of GDP from it's ordinary citizens and giving it to Oligarchs. (Corporate Welfare in America is now over $2.5tn a year.)
The USSR was also an oligarchy - they were called senior party officials.

Meanwhile China is only spending 2% of GDP on it's military and is making new and better and closer friends across the entire globe.

Anyone with half a brain can see which way this is heading.
