A democracy should protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable among them, but increasingly the United States is failing to do so. Journalist Chris Hedges, argues that the crisis predates Donald Trump’s election by many years. Like his source of inspiration, the Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul, Hedges regards Trump as the symptom rather than the disease. Decades ago, U.S. democracy began selling its soul to big corporations. Lobbyists and corporatism took control in Washington, gradually undermining the will of the people. Journalist Naomi Klein recently described Trump’s administration as a “corporate coup d’état”. Hedges and Ralston Saul argue that the real coup took place long before.

But regular breakdowns in the ceasefire with India mean that citizens continue to get caught in the crossfire.

The United States overturned the world order in oil that has prevailed since the WWII. In a major strategic change, the Americans are no longer dependent on oil from their Saudi allies, who came under suspicion following the September 11 attacks of 2001. To counter this power grab, Saudi Arabia has engaged in a game of poker. Produce more oil to drive the price of a barrel as low as possible and bring off a triple coup: ruin the American shale oil industry and weaken its worst enemies, Russia and Iran. A highly risky strategy, but this scenario is full of surprising twists. Is this poker game the herald of the post-oil world?
