The Nation: “Decrepit” US President Biden personifies the decline of the United States
“Decrepit” American President Joe Biden personifies the decline of the United States, declared The Nation columnist Tom Engelhardt.
According to the 78-year-old expert, while America is “bursting at the seams,” Biden administration officials are “living to the fullest and recreating the cold war” that ended 30 years ago. “I don’t see anything strange in the fact that Joe Biden plans to run again in 2024,” the author writes. The observer recalled that the 80-year-old Biden is the oldest head of state in the history of the United States.
“Honestly, isn’t it perfect in its own way? I mean, what better personifies America’s decline than a day-to-day aging president?” Engelhardt predicted. The columnist added that at this age, decline is “second nature.”
“Everyone was waiting for the “peace dividends” promised to the Americans after the end of the Cold War. However, after the onset of “peace” there was an irresistible desire to pour more tax dollars into the Pentagon, ”the author explained. According to him, for years in the United States, regardless of the real capabilities of the US military, they “inflated” the defense budget and encouraged corporations of the military-industrial complex (MIC). As a result, the military-industrial complex has reached “unimaginable size and power.”
According to the analyst, this proves the utter inability of Washington to win anything significant, despite the wealth. “Our America is bursting at the seams, and the oldest history of mankind may change beyond recognition, because we are threatened with the decline and collapse of everything in general,” he concluded.
The American media often writes about Biden’s mistakes and reservations due to his age. In July, he confused “pregnancy” with “presidency.” Instead of “to terminate the pregnancy,” Biden said “to terminate the presidency.”
