When America Attacks...
By: Joe the Mutant – The Charilogone Editorial TeamHaving spent half a century as a close observer of the wars waged—rightly or wrongly—by the United States, it has become possible to draw a true psychological profile of the American state, shaped by its successive military interventions across the globe.
1. An Economy Based on War
The American economy is structurally based on the military-industrial complex. War fuels research, technological innovation, production chains, and employment in many sectors. Recent history shows that without conflict, America struggles to maintain its technological and industrial supremacy. In short: no war, no American power. This model is that of war capitalism, fueled by geopolitical instability.
2. An expansionist logic through conflict
Unlike economies like China, India, or South Korea, whose growth relies on the production of consumer goods, the United States seems to need to invent or fuel conflicts to make its system prosper. This is not just a matter of defense, but a systemic mechanism: creating threats, combating them, and then rebuilding.
3. The Economy as the Foundation of the Superstructure
As Karl Marx reminded us, the economy constitutes the infrastructure upon which the superstructure is built: ideology, culture, religion, propaganda, etc. Thus, the entire American national narrative—freedom, exported democracy, the defense of strategic interests—is part of an economic mechanism.
4. America and the BRICS: Strategic Solitude
In the era of emerging blocs like the BRICS, the United States seems increasingly isolated. American military unilateralism is colliding with powers such as Russia and China, which have other levers at their disposal: economic, diplomatic, or monetary. The BRICS could erode the dollar's hegemony and challenge the trade system led by Washington.
5. The African Challenge and Strategic Resources
The next battleground could well be Africa and the Sahel. Why? Because the nuclear power of the future—uranium—is found in the DRC, Niger, Mali, Chad, and Sudan. Following Iran, these strategic and unstable countries could become the new targets of energy and security competition.
