I am hopeful that the people in the US can experience relief. The problem is that people are brought up with silly propaganda like it being the free-est country in the world, the best, etc. It’s all very strange and causes cult-like behavior.
America has been the villain of world history since inception. We just manifest destined ourselves to take land that HAD NO ONE ON IT EVER STOP ASKINGIT’S FINE NOW!
Before people trusted us to honor important parts of our commitments. Now people expect the worst from us in nearly everything. We lit an assload of soft power on fire and it will likely contribute to our “downfall” from global hegemon to competing great power. Silver lining is that a lot of the wealth we’ve skimmed off the top of the global economy for decades will now start going back to our allies and industrially underdeveloped parts of the world held hostage by our dominant military and economic position.
Some sure, but not everyone. It took a hit during the Bush years, but the Trump administration has eradicated anyone except lunatic conservatives trying to betray their own country for a taste of power.
That’s what they said during W’s reign, but still we managed to find someone more callous. Unfortunately I don’t think he and his cabal are as stupid as we would like to think they are. W on the other hand…
The US will never live down this level of stupidity and callousness.
I feel like it’s pretty much our brand? Has been for a while?
The difference is that people are questioning whether they should keep trading in dollars. This is new.
That is a great outcome though. Hopefully the US is so weakened by Trump that the world can know some peace from Americas evilness.

Only people who weren’t in agreements with you previously thought that.

Sadly, no. It does seem like that though.

Fucking red-button mindset.
