World news | The Decline of American Hegemony

Mumbai | Monday, 7 July | Adv. Sheikh Shahid Irfan

(World news) After the end of the Second World War, the United States emerged as the victorious power and projected its dominance across the world. By dropping two nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. burned alive more than two hundred thousand people, turning both cities into piles of ashes and wiping out every trace of life—setting a horrific example of brutality.

(World news) The era of American dominance began with the end of World War II, and now, after 80 long years, American barbarism has continued relentlessly across the world. The U.S. has waged wars far from its own soil in numerous countries. In Vietnam, America initiated war to curb the growing influence of the Soviet Union (present-day Russia). The U.S. fought a prolonged war in Vietnam, where 3.5 million Vietnamese people lost their lives. Over 50,000 American soldiers were also killed. Vietnam was fighting a war for its survival. Eventually, Vietnam triumphed, and the U.S. was forced to flee.

(World news) In the Middle East, the U.S. waged an unnecessary war on Iraq, destroying the country. Millions of Iraqis were killed or crippled by American weapons, and Iraq’s economy was left in ruins. The prosperity of Iraq was obliterated. The U.S. and its Western allies continued their campaign of wars. They invaded Afghanistan, deploying forces there. For two decades, American and allied forces turned Afghanistan into a slaughterhouse, killing more than 2.5 million Afghans. In comparison, the U.S. lost around 5,000 soldiers. Like Vietnam, Afghanistan was fighting for its survival. Eventually, the U.S. had to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Faced with defeat, America began searching for a new front. Containing China became its top priority. America started favoring India, forming the Quad alliance and selecting India to play the role of a regional leader in South Asia. India’s foreign policy gradually found its place under the American camp. The Indian Prime Minister, a lifelong admirer of the West, distanced India from Russia in favor of U.S. approval, spending ten years in American favor. Meanwhile, Russia distanced itself from India.

China remains India’s traditional rival, as does Pakistan. Bangladesh, keeping its distance from India, turned toward China. China’s support for Sri Lanka continues, while the Maldives, observing China’s growing power, preferred to seek refuge in China’s embrace. Nepal is glaring at India with discontent. In short, all of India’s neighbors distanced themselves from it and forged closer ties with China. India stands silently in the American camp, neither receiving respect nor even a seat at the table.

To please America, the Indian Prime Minister established relations with Israel. Israel itself is an illegitimate state created on earth through the joint actions of America and Britain. India forged ties with Israel in an attempt to become America’s favored ally. Following Israel’s example, India began disregarding human life. In Gaza, Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians has surpassed the cruelty of Pharaoh and Nimrod, with over 100,000 Palestinians killed in less than two years. The savage Israeli Prime Minister is now a close ally of the Indian Prime Minister, and both share similar methods and mindsets.

Israel, viewing Iran as another Gaza, attacked it. In response, Iran’s 12-day missile strikes dealt a severe blow to Israel. India sided with Israel. Iran is fighting for its survival. Defeated, America and Israel now mourn their losses in the month of Muharram. The Iran-Israel war has paved the way for America’s decline, and Israel’s downfall is now inevitable with the fall of America.

And our duty is only to convey the clear message.
