AS US Imperialism tries to hold on to its role as global ‘Hegemon,’ it is being frustrated, not by Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea, countries that it loves to hate, but by its own subalterns in the ‘Democracies’ whose popularity and support among their own citizens are now near rock-bottom over their disastrous economic and divisive policies at home.

This week, South Korea remains in political crisis after Pres. Yoon Suk Yeol, declared martial law on Tuesday—only to lift it 6 hours later due to the massive backlash it generated among Koreans.

Pres. Yoon citing the threat from the communist North as basis for his declaration is lying thru his teeth and Koreans easily saw through it.

The fact of the matter is that Pres. Yoon won in the 2022 presidential election with the narrowest of margin and his party failed to get a majority in the Korean Parliament, only getting 108 seats out of the 300-seats chamber, thereby frustrating the fulfillment of his promises to the electorate.

In France, 2-term president, Emmanuel Macron, saw his popularity dipping from nearly 55 percent when he started out in 2017 to just 23 percent today.

His coalition government, ‘Ensemblé,’ was not only defeated in the EU parliamentary election last June 9, but also, at the National Assembly election last June 30 and July 7, signaling that the French are getting tired of Macron’s pro-EU, pro-globalist and pro-war policies in relation to the West’s proxy war in Ukraine.

In the UK, PM Keir Starmer is now fighting off calls for a new general election, ignoring the petition signed by more than 2.7 million British. What a descent to dissatisfaction among his people considering that his Labour Party just dominated the UK general election held last July 4!

Starmer is now resorting to fascist methods, jailing critics and stifling dissent over a population now angry at his domestic policies, threatening British farmers over his new ‘inheritance tax’ while millions of British pensioners are in danger of freezing to death with the removal of their winter fuel subsidy so money is available for Ukraine.

In Germany, two days after Donald Trump was reelected US president last November 5, the coalition government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed after he fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), for being an “obstructionist.”

In the main, Lindner was fired for responsibly doing his job of trying to save Germany from financial collapse considering that Germany is essentially under recession since 2022.

But putting ‘Germany First’ is against Scholz’s determination to increase military spending and give billions more to Ukraine using the “Russia’s threat” bogey as an excuse.

In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reluctant to call another parliamentary election as it would be his end. All polls now show that the Conservative Party would win more than 200 seats in Canada’s 443-seats chamber should an election is held today, sufficient to swamp the minority coalition government of Trudeau and boot him out of office.

In Japan, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is a perennial loser in the race for president of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the political party founded by Gen. Douglas Macarthur and the CIA after World War 2 and originally comprising of war criminals and fascists.

Before becoming Prime Minister last October 27, Ishiba had lost the nomination in 2008, 2012, 2018 and 2020.

Last September, Ishiba barely won over Sanae Takaichi and with it, the premiership of Japan. In other words, Ishiba, like other American subalterns, cannot claim that he has the popular mandate to rule over Japan.

Then of course, there is Israel PM Bejamin Netanyahu, who had to endure massive protests during pauses in bombings from Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen against his rule.

Netanyahu added to the burden of Uncle Sam after the ICC issued a warrant of arrest against him last November 21, for his war crimes against the Palestinians, ongoing for over a year now.

In shielding Netanyahu from arrest, America and the West just show the hypocrisy and double standard of their ‘rules-based world order.’

Finally, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, a Nazi comedian, is effectively ruling as a dictator after cancelling the presidential election last May. If elections are held today, pollsters disclosed that only 16 percent of Ukrainians would vote for Zelensky.

In other words, the ‘democratic-capitalist model’ that US Imperialism relies on to impose its hegemony is already untenable and in danger of collapse. People the world over are tired of it.

And if these are the ‘leaders’ that US Imperialism says are “shining examples” of ‘Democracy in Action’ then I’d say… what a joke!
