If I'm understanding this correctly, the man who shot two national guards in DC was a former Afghan child soldier who fought alongside US special forces and in a CIA-supervised unit and later was granted asylum. The word "blowback" comes to mind.

The UK economy is failing because of isolationism epitomized by Brexit, and attacks on immigration.
Americans are starting to grasp that agricultural, healthcare, and education sectors are heavily dependent on immigration, including undocumented workers. Parts of the economy will fail without them.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.
