The American Imperial Empire rests on puppet governments
that are increasingly distrusted and hated by the peoples under their rule. Like
the Soviet Union's Eastern European empire, the American Empire is ruled not
directly but through puppet states.

Puppet governments are caught between
the empire's power and the power of the local population. To the extent that
Europeans have a moral conscience, they will find America's foreign policy
increasingly repugnant. To the extent that Muslim solidarity grows, the Muslim
puppet governments that support America's and Israel's massacres of Muslims will
find themselves threatened from within.

The American Empire is on the
rocks, despite its vast arsenal of nuclear weapons and its control over the
foreign and domestic policies of its subservient puppet states in Western and
Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, parts of Africa, the
Middle East, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Baltic states, Georgia, Kosovo,
Mexico, Central America, Columbia, and, no doubt, others.

A country
that is the font of war and oppression, whose dominance rests on the weak reed
of puppet states, and whose economy is collapsing will not long remain dominant.
