American Empire coming to a close!

People around the world are “fed up” with the United States’ increasingly “militaristic and imperialistic” policies, a “reckless and irresponsible” strategy that will bring about the “demise” of the American empire, a former US Senate candidate says.

“It’s abundantly clear that the world is fed up with all this American empire expansionism,” Mark Dankof, a political commentator and broadcaster in San Antonio, Texas told Press TV on Monday.

Dankof strongly criticized the Obama administration’s policies in Ukraine and Gaza in particular, which he said is mainly the result of “American militarism on behalf of the Zionism and international banks and Western energy consortiums.”

US sanctions against Russia will cause the US dollar to “nosedive” in value, setting the stage for the “ultimate demise of the American empire,” he stated.

“It’s clear that American policies around the world are increasingly militaristic, increasingly imperialistic and absolutely irresponsible,” the former Senate candidate noted. “We are literally witnessing a transition of power in world history where the American empire is coming to a close.”

In an article published on Sunday, former US Congressman and presidential nominee Ron Paul wrote, “The US government’s decision to apply more sanctions on Russia is a grave mistake and will only escalate an already tense situation, ultimately harming the US economy itself.”

“While the effect of sanctions on the dollar may not be appreciated in the short term, in the long run these sanctions are just another step toward the dollar’s eventual demise as the world’s reserve currency,” he argued.
