ATTITUDE IS USA'S ACHILLES HEEL.

America's attitude about its superiority is a major reason for its impending downfall albeit with help from Russia, China and the development of BRICS.

Arising from this mindless attitude which has grown ugly with time, the USA has become  arrogant, ruthless and has no hesitation to destroy any institution or nation which in its view poses a threat to itself either economically , financially or militarily. Barack Obama's dangerous " pivot to the east" is a manifestation of this attitude.

For decades Washington pays no sympathy or displays  any respect for human rights as it crushed and turned cities in Libya , Afganistan, Iraq and Syria into rubble apart from wonton killings , why? because of its superiority attitude and that no one could stop it.

It even bombed China's embassy in Belgrade, Serbia on 7th May 1999 during the Kosovo war  on mysterious grounds which until today are being disputed ,argued and debated.

But the day of reckoning for the USA is coming because with two wars on its plate  in Ukraine and in Gaza, it has obviously taken too big a bite and is likely to end up getting choked by it.

The cracks are showing. Russia is not cowed and will not submit to the mountain of sanctions imposed by the West with the USA leading the pack. Short of American pilots taking to the skies with its F-35 fighter jets,  the USA  has used up all of  its cards to crash Russia in conventional warfare  but still  the latter, with support from China, not only is not backing down from the Ukraine war but is thriving militarily and financially.

And then there is China making giant steps in semiconductor developments. In less than 5 years since the arrest of Meng Wanzhoa on 1st December 2018 in Canada, China shrugged off Washington's numerous unfair and allegedly illegal actions against Huawei and other Chinese semiconductor entities. Again the USA's  attitude stood out like a sore thumb but to no avail because Huawei poured millions into research and development and finally broke the USA's EUV embargo and quietly introduced  the new Mate 60 Pro 5G satellite phone and wrested a huge chunk of the phone market from Apple and Samsung. Minnows such as TSMC, Foxcomm, Micron, ASML, Nvidia and others after finding themselves being exiled from the Chinese market, are seen scrambling to knock at China's door but their re-entry into China hangs in doubt.

It is as if Washington is incapable of learning from its past space program failure when it excluded China from the ISS space project under the laughable Wolf Amendment Act of 2011. Today China's Tiangong space station glistens majestically in the sky whereas the ISS now at the end of its life, will soon be sent incinerating through the Earth's atmosphere  leaving China's pride ,Tiangong,  as the sole space station circling Earth.

If the saying " don't bet against the USA" was true 23 years ago today the saying is even more true for China. In fact a new saying has emerged in favour of China " what the USA  can do, China can do better".

Finally the USA must change its attitude if it were to remain as China's peer competitor in the world. It can start by accepting  and cooperating with China. But it must change its detestable attitude first and not being enslaved by it.

The USA has no other options because the walls are closing in on Washington with the expected collapse of the US dollar. The rapid development of BRICS will see to that.

If there is no one amongst the members of Congress who is willing to move a motion to change the USA's attitude and policy towards the world perhaps a child or a member of the press could magically appear and declare  " the emperor (USA) wears no clothes".
