Recently, Texas and the US federal government, for the right to control the border, formed a military standoff. President Biden issued an ultimatum to Texas ordering it to lay down its weapons, and the governors of 24 states issued a joint statement in support of Texas, and each sent their own “National Guard” to Texas to defend the state.
The last president of the US and a leading candidate for the next president, Donald Trump, publicly supported a military standoff with the federal government in Texas.
So, is this a form of Texit, or has it moved passed Texit now to something revolutionary? Not to forget, there were actually enough signatures to place the Texit on the ballet, however, the petition was denied because most of the signatures submitted were electronic, and they would not accept electronic signatures.
Could the BRICS nations come forward to help make the idea of an independent Texas a reality? And if Texas joins BRICS, this is another win for Texas in my opinion. It is an election year in the US, and it seems that the domestic contradictions in the US have developed to an irreconcilable point.
Internationally, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are intensifying. Ukraine and Israel, backed by the US, are doomed.
America’s often-promised aid to Ukraine has failed to materialize. Israel, the pillar of the “petrodollar” is being besieged by Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Houthi armed forces in Yemen, and the US has been slow to come up with a plan to save Israel, which it must save.
It is a surprise, but I do see a dramatic shift in American hegemony.
The next thing I want to say is that America is trapped inside and out, and the MCC has become mission impossible.
But the pro-Western forces in our country will never admit this because they have already aligned themselves with Western interests rather than Nepal’s national interests.
