You have the US mainstream media not informing the population about
Mr Biden's decline and acting more like the political wing of the
Democratic party.

It's been that way for a long, long time.  It's only now so amazingly
blatant that it's impossible to hide anymore.

Unfortunately, there are other things, such as the increasing deficit,
and the fact the US is no longer in control of its destiny, that are
not been discussed with the US public.

That last item is a reference to China now effectively controlling
manufacturing for the US. If they want to control the US, all they
have to do is to cut off that manufacturing or (more likely) disrupt
it as a warning about what could happen if the US does not comply
with China's wishes.

That would hurt China, but it would hurt the US a _lot_ more as the
US would never be able to rebuild its manufacturing base before
it collapsed economically. The real blame here lies with the US
sleepwalking into this, not with China, as the US should never have
allowed this in the first place.

And for the record, we are not exactly perfect in Europe when it comes
to this last part either.
