Juan González on Trump Administration, U.S. Empire, China, and Global Power | Democracy Now!

In this powerful talk, Juan González of Democracy Now! examines how the Trump administration advanced the U.S. empire through aggressive foreign policy in the Middle East, a tariffs war, and conducting mass firings of federal employees. We examine how immigration policy and the targeting of migrants reinforced imperial interests at home.

We analyze with Juan González, China's role on the world stage, questioning narratives pushed by figures like John Mearsheimer on "why China should be contained by US?" Is China a positive force in global politics today? We challenge dominant Western views and critique Western Marxism for its failures to understand the evolving global order and immigration rights at home.The central theme of the video is the US empire in decline as many commentators are saying. We analyze the narrative of the decline of the American empire.

Additionally, Juan González points out how even progressive outlets like Democracy Now! did not take a clear stance on major events like the Ukraine war, revealing the challenges of independent journalism under empire.
