BANK LESS ON AMERICA, OH YE PARASITES.
After more than a year of Donald Trump at the American seat of power, The White House, none can pretend not to get the message loud and clear: Depend less on America, you parasites.
For Trump, the world has been begging at the door of mighty uncle Sam for too long...since the end of World war two, some may say.
Before President Trump surfaced, America provided the lion share of funds for the United Nations and its many organs; it shouldered the heavy weight of democracy threatened by dictators, armed insurgency all over the world and expanded its budget deficit so that its allies and even not too friendly nations like China could grow their own economies on trade surplus with Uncle Sam, and expanded its military budget and ambitions to ensure its NATO allies and other friendly nations had a broad shoulder to lean on.
Now Donald Trump is saying enough is enough but, unfortunaty, rather crudely through bragado display of might and infectious threat of thunder, brimstone and nuclear shower the world has never seen before.
So let the rest of the world,please get the message: Whether parasites or beggar neighbours and friends, the time has come to depend less on America.
For example, if Brexit was predicated on potential trade relations with America outside European Union, then it is time for a rethink.
No doubt, with the Iran deal buried as far as Donald Trump's America was concerned, other parties to the deal are reminded to reshape their economies to depend less on America if not, Uncle Sam will soon dictate who becomes their leader like it has done, albeit with dangerous consequences in Libya.
Now it begins to make sense what the Chinese and cryptocurrencies have been trying to do to the mighty American dollar in recent years. The time has come to find an international common payment and value assessment medium that is less dependent on any nations domestic policies. Move over American dollar, if not American sanctions will bury the world.
It may not be easy especially for European economies with years and years of economic ties with the United States and for the United Nations and its organs but it is a task that must be done.
It will equally be very difficult for Arab nations with crude oil surpluses in dollar vaults; for emerging third world countries that had eyes set on what used to be the American compass and even for not too friendly countries like Russia, China and even Iran that stand to discover that when a Goliath flexes his muscles in full glare in the real world, it may be foolhardy to bank on David's combat model.
Now every nation must do something. The order is out: DEPEND LESS ON AMERICA FOR WORLD LEADERSHIP and HAND OUTS. Uncle Sam is feeling the pain and President Donald Trump has come to do the needful for America.
In other words, today, any one who deserves to call himself leader of any nation must do something concrete to depend less on America because that is the beginning of modern day wisdom.
