The collapse of the American economic model is coming \u201cmuch earlier than previously estimated\u201d and risks dragging Europe along with it.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt seems that we are at the end of the age of empire. There is a crescendo of debt that Bessent will be called upon to manage. He knows it \u2013 he is not stupid.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>The government sees the danger, but doesn\u2019t know what to do<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe White House is aware of the risks, but not a clear strategy to deal with them. There are also doubts about whether President Donald Trump understands the magnitude of the problem. All the moves they are making show that they recognize the crisis, but they don\u2019t know how to get out of it.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe entire government, to some extent, understands that the US is heading towards a crisis \u2013 but they don\u2019t know what to do. They are running left and right, something typical of the current administration.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>The fight for energy behind American choices<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Washington\u2019s external moves with the need to secure energy resources, arguing that issues like Ukraine and Venezuela are a reflection of the US battle for access to oil. The US desperately needs oil so that Bessent has at least a chance to relieve the economy in the face of an immediate debt shock.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Warning to Europe<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe concerns do not stop only in the US. They also extend to the economies of the European Union, which are in an equally fragile state. If they do not recognize the danger, \u201cthey will sink with the US and very quickly.\u201d And European leaders must understand this. If they do not understand it, they will go to the bottom with the US.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>\u201cThe economy and geo-economy now dictate geopolitics\u201d<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn similar crises, China chooses to handle matters cautiously. However, the US has now passed the caution point: The time for cautious moves is over. The system is entering a phase where the economy and geo-economy determine geopolitics, not the other way around.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The messages about the dire economic situation of the United States are constantly increasing, and they warn that the country is rapidly entering a deep fiscal and debt crisis cycle.
