Actually only one of those events was a true Black Swan: 9/11. Everything else was the consequence of that event.
After the war on Afghanistan and Iraq was launched, American capitalists reaped massive amounts of profit, and corporate greed reached unprecedented heights. This set the stage for the 2008 Financial Crisis.
The Financial Crisis caused the foreclosure of many families' homes, and gave rise to the populist movement that saw the rise of Trump. In fact, the same sentiment that voted Trump in was adamantly opposed to free trade agreements, hence not only TPP was scrapped, so was NAFTA (if anyone still remembers).
Finally, of course, Trump was instrumental in the devastation wreaked by covid-19 on American soil. That's what happens when you put a narcissistic sociopath in charge of the country.
As for the current situation in Ukraine, it's obviously because Putin saw the US occupied with China and took the opportunity to make a forceful response against NATO encroachment.
I believe that 100 years from now, historians will remember Osama Bin Laden as the man who engineered the fall of the American Empire.
Ironically it was also the US that gave rise to Osama Bin Laden, to counter the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
A real life "I am your father" twist.
What makes you say that? Is this from your own experience or just basing this from someone else's experience? I am asking because I am familiar with the Philippines since I spent a good decade plus living in that country and cowardice doesn't seem to ring a bell or associated with the folks I was surrounded with. Filipinos are island folks and depending on which region they're from they'll carry a certain provincial traits with them wherever they go.
Anecdotally its pretty well-known that Filipino immigrants in the US join the US navy. Something about heritage or whatever.
As for cowardice, well they tend to move as a group and are ardently white-worshipping. They're the most Karen of Karens, because they always try and retreat back to "law and order" and whatever.
But theres also a few woke Filipinos around, so its not all of them.
