An Adventurism Heading For Failure

Today our world is in deep political and economic crisis. The primary reason behind this global turmoil is the US Administration’s unrestrained adventurism aimed at monopolizing the world’s resources and its unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of other states.
In the history of the world, many powerful empires had risen, reached the zenith of civilization in their heydays and ultimately met their end. Insatiable expansionist ambitions, gluttony for amassing wealth, arrogance and adventurism are some of the common factors that lead to the fall of the world’s most prominent and powerful empires of the world.
Having been engrossed in its own development endeavors while European powers were embroiled in wars and invasions, the United States was able to emerge as the world’s super power. However as the saying goes, “Pride comes before downfall”, intoxicated with their own sense of power, a handful American capitalists are compromising their country’s status as a super power in their blind pursuit to control and exploit world resources.
To secure global economic and political dominance through a strategy coined with “Exporting democracy” American intellectuals seek to present their country as the icon of human rights and freedom and try to convince the world that any US mission is that of peace and good will. But as the experiences in Latin America, Vietnam, Balkan and Caucus countries as well as the Horn of Africa only reveal the conceit and lawlessness of the US Administration. It is no longer a secret that the very essence of “exporting democracy” lies in perfecting the art of crisis management after manipulating existing differences among peoples to create conflict, grossly undermining the sovereignty of others while fiercely protecting your own, promoting and spreading terrorism in the name of ‘war on terror’ and attempting to deepen ethnic and religious difference among people in the name of religious freedom and democracy.
The US Administration’s tactics to control the world’s resources by fomenting conflict and division among peoples and flaunting sophisticated military power to terrorize and demand compliance from others did not have the desired effect. On the contrary Washington’s strategy backfired and is now leading to failure and embarrassment. The US Administration continues to reap a harvest of successive failures in the wars or conflicts it was directly involved and the ones it maneuvered from behind the scenes.
Failing to secure US interests as planned, Washington’s misguided geopolitical strategies have now resulted in global economic and political crisis. The failure of US adventurism unveiled Western hypocrisy and gave rise to a new awareness that calls for the respect and sovereignty as well as social justice of all the peoples of the world. Consequently the struggle against dominance and exploitation is gaining momentum from time to time. Although it will require time and patience, this growing awareness among the peoples of the world will in the end result in the downfall of the strategy of exploitation and dominations and give rise to a better global situation.
