Former Carter Adviser Brzezinski: US Global Supremacy ‘Is Over’

The United States can no longer reign supreme as the world’s sole superpower, says Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s National Security adviser and a prolific foreign affairs scholar.

“The era of global supremacy by a major power . . . is over,” he tells Yahoo.

“The world is now much more diversified. There is now the new East in Asia. There is now a globally, politically awakened population.”

But that doesn’t mean the demise of the United States, as long as we’re willing to make some changes, Brzezinski, says.

“We have to accustomize ourselves to that world. If we want to compete in it, we have to revitalize ourselves.”

When it comes to China, the United States must accept its rising power, he says. “But we can certainly compete more effectively if we do a lot of thing internally to reawaken creativity, confidence, and even the moral significance of America in the world.”

Brezezinski periodically unburdens himself of his wisdom to instruct the peasants.

In part, thanks to his contributions.

What a pair he an Jimmy made. Iran went from the Shah to the Ayotollah - something we pay for every year.

Thanks again ZeeBigNut

The biggest thing we can do is keep people like ZB, his old boss, and the current occupant of the White House and his party out of power.

That effin nit wit Brzezinski was a loser as Carter’s NSA, and he’s loser now. It was due to Brzezinski AND Carter that the entire Iraq-Iran War began, and both of those POS’s should have been indicted and tried on charges of genocide.

Flushing the turd in the White House would be a great start.

Seldom does one encounter a more self-satisfied man than Brezezinski, and seldom, too, does one find a man more chronically wrong.

We can now celebrate the demise of the only democratic republic in the world to show how it must be done and succeed. All anyone must do to see how to have it fail is to follow the 0.

Evil personified.

Thanks to the Obama Administration and the Democrats in the Senate the U.S. has become much weaker. I can remember after Reagan's presidency the experts were saying that the U.S. would be the world's only superpower for the next century.

Now it is clear that the U.S. is growing far weaker and less influential. Soon countries like Pakistan and Iran will be pushing us around. Soon countries like Egypt will be holding Americans hostage without fear of consequences.

God, I hate that man.

So do I. He is the perfect representative of Jimmuh Cahter, though, who was the Obama forerunner in hating America.

What disturbs me the most about these fools who celebrate the fact that Obama has weakened us so thoroughly is that when things turn to crap in the US, who will come to OUR aid?? These dimbulbs haven't gotten far enough past their hatred of the country to figure that out!!

No news here. These leftists have been running under this concept of a weak America for decades. I remember the last time the US was said to be a pitiful giant. The next President made sure it was not

I think that Zbigniew is correct, thanks to the policies of President Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. The destruction of our United States continues with this administration.
