The US global empire has declined beyond recuperation. Trump hides a retreat to a western hemisphere empire by war on Venezuela. But just as wars lost in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine did not stop US's empire's decline, wars in Latin America wont stop decline there either.

#WolffBites: Mexico's minimum wage rose 13% on 1 January 2026. Taking into account inflation, the real Mexican wage was tripled over the last 8 years. Mexico's ruling class opposed the increases as bad for Mexico. They were 100% wrong.
