At the heart of the USA—today’s *Roman Empire*—Donald Trump reigns, a modern-day Caligula, the mad emperor who appointed his favorite horse as a senator and even wanted to make it a consul.
Now, many of the senators supporting Trump are not even horses—they are mere mules and donkeys. And this time, the favorite horse’s name is not Incitatus, but Vance.

Dark prospects anead of the USA...
Because in an inevitable historical pattern, after Caligula, the next emperor is always even crazier—Nero.
And this time, it wouldn’t be surprising if the new Nero plays not the lyre, but a wooden flute, while a raging fire of rebellion engulfs his own Rome.

I read what the NATO Secretary General said. But I could have just as well not read it. When it comes to NATO, it’s now either good things or nothing at all.
This Secretary General just bought himself a factory on September 8.
And as the Russians say—the ones he supposedly plans to restore relations with—**"the Secretary General is making a good face in a bad game."**

The **market society** (i.e., roughly **"one dollar – one vote"**) and the **democratic society** (i.e., **"one person – one vote"**) are in a direct and inverse relationship, engaged in a unity and struggle of opposites.

American political scientist **Benjamin Barber** (1939–2017) wrote: **"Capitalists can be democrats, but capitalism does not need or lead to democracy."**

And yet, under certain conditions, capitalism can become a defender of democracy.

I apologize for quoting myself again, but I have been writing about this for a long time (even before the elections) in the hope that someone would listen:

- Trump is a pathology.
- With Trump, one must expect even the most unexpected.
- With Trump, one must anticipate even the most unpredictable.
- With Trump, one must not be surprised by even the most surprising.
- With Trump, even the impossible is possible.

I understand those friends who desperately resist when, instead of talking about the madman Trump, we speak about the madness of the United States.

The U.S. is like a loved one suffering from a severe illness – we can say many good things about them, remain attached, share common memories, and acknowledge the role they have played in our lives. But none of this eliminates the urgent need for radical treatment.

American society is gravely ill, and its disease is progressing. Soon, people may start referring to the U.S. as yet another rogue state, a bandit state, a gangster state—just as Putin has turned Russia into one.

Trump is, above all, a disgusting and ugly abscess that has erupted on the face of the United States. We can try to conceal this repulsive boil with foundation or with some kind of soothing cream, we can talk about how it is a mere symptom of what afflicts America… But this abscess is only a repellent and terrifying **sign** of a far more serious illness that is **devouring the system from within**. That is why urgent and radical treatment is needed.

It’s not too late yet, but as with any pathology, **there comes a point where it will be fatally too late**.
