In this video we discussed 911 and how present world order came into being.
How US policy crated Islamophobia and how Muslim world learned from its suffering.

Beginning of the end of American Empire...

I didn't believe it be the case ten or even five years ago. But the rot is so deeply set in US and political system that has presided over this descent into inescapable collapse is so well entrenched and so efficient at rooting out any dissent or calls for course correction, so much so that even the progressive voice are all compromised and easily co-opted, that now there is no going back.

And make no mistake it is economic collapse and US is getting left behind, it doesn't have the basic infrastructure nor the willingness to mitigate is live disaster to be competitive in this century.

Afer 911, US embarked on a self destructive path.
In the Middle East where I grew up (Saudi Arabia) everyone behind closed doors believe 9/11 was an inside job.
But then, how can I blame the locals. The Americans did Mohammad Mossadegh removal and other dishonest acts.

Personally I hope China does an alliance with the Sunni Muslim world like countries such as: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Malaysia.
The American century is now over. Hopefully it will be an Asian century.

Pakistan maybe a sunni nation on paper, but shias wield a disproportionately high level of influence in all it's important public and private spheres. It won't be easy, lest there is rampant mischief and disturbances domestically, for Pakistan to side completely with the Sunni world.

At least half of Pakistan's heads of states have been shias even though they only comprise no more an 15% share in the population. The biggest, most prosperous and populous city, the country's nerve center, biggest revenue generator and exporting 50% of country's goods/services has been under Shia subjugation for the last thirteen years and will remain so for the foreseeable future....

Yar mujhe aik baat bta kon khush hai Pakistan's largest city main?

Jab dekho aik doosre se ya baki poore Pakistan se lar rae hote ho tum log.

The Cold War was a competition of soft power and hard power between the Soviets and the US, it seems to be going back to that again between the US and China, but more so Soft power and not as much hard power.

stories of the US demise are exaggerated, especially when the US makes up 19-22% of global GDP. (The British empire fell when it only made up 7-8% of global gdp and it was heavily indebted after WW2)

china’s economic and technological rise is the most threatening thing to the US, especially if it master key industries like aerospace engines and the latest chip technology, which the Russians really couldn’t do.

ultimately, if the US goes into a focused competition with China, doubles down on soft power and wins the trust of many nations, especially in Asia and Africa, it can stunt China’s easy growth. China will then have to get more flexible and offer these counties more aid and not as much loans to win them over, and the US still has the larger check book, or willingness to give out aid then China. Remember Soviet aid won it allies in the developing world, China will have to do more of the same if it wants to keep up with a US lead western and Asian alliance that makes up most of the global GDP.

the last 20 years were a distraction and a time that could have been better spent preparing to deal with China, rather then facilitating its rise.

Now we are back to great power competition, and as much as things change they remain the same. Only, now with a viable alternative (which wasn’t the case on 9/11/01) that isn’t based on ideology, when countries and peoples lose trust in the US, especially due to the careless application of hard power, they will turn to China more and more.

In a China vs. USA, I would support China.

Its a multipolar world now. After the Mohammad Mossadegh episode, I learned never to support USA again.

For now, but if in the coming decades the US reforms itself and IF the Chinese change their behavior, that may change. At the moment, China looks appealing to many nations, and that comes down to how self destructive that last 20 years have been for the US and less to do with what China has been doing.

But Chinese are wise to learn from the arrogance of USA.

Those Communists in China are atleast more honest than those bloodthirsty senators in the American government.

Those who were responsible for 9/11 and those who facilitate the attack, may Allah curse them and punish them in most horrific way possible... One day we will know the real truth and those who commit that crime will be put to justice.

Indeed, may Allah punish the murderers in this dunya and in the afterlife.
