Since Simpicius76 documents so well each of his points, his analysis needs no further commentary here from me.
A reader of this at

commented there upon Simplicius76’s article, and I replied, and he responded:
"Has the end of the U.S. empire now occurred?"
No, but hopefully it is on its way.
REPLY
Would you then say that Simplicious76 here documented that 12 July 2026 is the day when the American empire conspicuously started its period of decline and fall?
REPLY
Perhaps, but the process is complex, making a single day hard to delineate.

Germany, in line with Hitler’s goal of conquering Russia, is now taking the lead as the U.S. colony supporting America’s war to conquer Russia.
On July 13th, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul addressed media in Brussels ahead of a crucial EU meeting on Russia’s war in Ukraine, and urged that other EU member nations join with Germany’s already announced war against Russia. He said (and its appearance here is its first-anywhere translation into English):
“From the German perspective, the focus today will be on continuing the policy that we have clearly articulated at other levels regarding the Ukraine conflict. Uh, the G7 committed to a clear statement of support for Ukraine and — uh — supported the Ukrainian government here in this difficult situation in which the conflict remains. Uh, that was also a clear signal to Moscow, and that continued at the NATO summit, where the German proposal — uh — found support — uh — to put together another package for Ukraine totaling 140 billion euros for the — for the two years — uh — that is, the current year and the coming year. And I believe that now Europe is called upon, as a next step, to make it clear that we stand by Ukraine and are continuing our policy — not only of supporting Ukraine but also of increasing pressure on Russia. That is why I expect us to agree on a 21st sanctions package this week, particularly with a view to the need for an oil price cap. This is a highly effective instrument that makes it clear to Moscow where we stand. I am confident that we will succeed in doing this this week, and I will now hold discussions to that end. I am about to meet my Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, and look forward to the conversation. We share a relationship based on great trust and personal importance, and I want to emphasize once again that Germany will continue its efforts — including in preparation for the winter. We have appealed — together with France — to our colleagues to contribute to supporting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, its water infrastructure, and its heating infrastructure; this is hard work that requires constant persuasion. We will continue this effort in the current situation. And, of course, I would like to be updated on the latest developments regarding domestic politics in Ukraine. We have heard about a cabinet reshuffle. That is of interest to me, but it certainly does not call into question where we stand. The second topic will be the Middle and Near East. We are extremely concerned about the continued hostilities between the USA and Iran. I expressly condemn the fact that Iran has once again attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz. That is an international waterway. Every ship passing through there does so on a secure legal basis, and any attack is unjustified. In particular, any attacks against Gulf states are in no way justified. Iran must refrain from doing that.”
As correctives to the underlying lies behind that statement, please see my
1. “How & Why the UK, U.S., and Canada, Governments imported Nazis into Canada”
2. “How the Cold War, Which Never Actually Stopped, Actually Started”
3. “The Transformative Present Moment in History”
4. “What Made the World We’re Living In”
7. “Documentation that U.S. and EU Support Ukraine’s Nazis”
Basically, on 25 July 1945, Truman started the Cold War with the intent for the U.S. Government to take over ultimately the entire world — for America’s Government to ultimately achieve what Hitler had been aspiring for Germany’s Government to achieve, except that instead of Hitler particularly wanting to eliminate Jews, Truman’s Israel wanted to eliminate Palestinians, and those are two different types of racist-supremacist imperialistic fascism or “nazism.” Truman picked up Hitler’s ideological torch, and both he and Hitler agreed that the biggest challenge would be to conquer Russia. Germany, as the U.S. regime’s top European colony, intends to lead in Europe this second nazi attempt to achieve that goal — the goal of the “neoconservatives” (of which Truman was the first). That’s the true historical background of this.
Consequently, the start of the decline and fall of the U.S. empire is no sign that the world’s drift into a nuclear World War Three that would destroy the world will not end by destroying the world. Things still are heading in that direction. The only difference now is that whereas before, there was hope that WW3 would end when its non-nuclear phase ends, there is now increasing likelihood that it will not — that the U.S. empire will ultimately compel upon Russians either surrender (joining the U.S. empire) or global destruction. Forced into that position, Russians would opt for global destruction, as any patriotic sovereign nation would. On a much larger scale, this is Patrick Henry’s 1775 “Give me liberty or give me death!” Henry was saying: If imperialistic slavery is the only way to live, give me death, for I shall NEVER lose this war, because we are on the good side, and our enemy is on the side of evil, and we will not allow evil to prevail. Better no world than an evil world.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
