Week in Review: Evidence of America in Decline: in Europe, Japan, China, Libya, Iraq and at Home—and Much More

When the world’s lone superpower falls, the effects ripple all over the globe. On today’s show we’ll talk about:

• How Germany is considering sacrificing its relationship with America in order to shore up ties with Russia—

• How American misbehavior has the Japanese trying to kick the U.S. out of their country—

• How China is tightening its grip on the South China Sea at America’s expense—

• How Libya is becoming an increasing area of concern since America led the campaign to get rid of Muammar Gadhafi—

• How, after all of America’s expenditure in Iraq, the main beneficiary is Iran.

• We’ll also discuss how U.S. politics are being increasingly marked by anger and violence—and an important point that those who recognize America’s problems are missing.

• We also have a jam-packed lightning round at the end.
