It's not about your stupid little election anymore, Americans. There is nothing more unimportant than your two parties. You're being kicked out of the middle east and the basis for your global empire is crumbling. Soon you'll be kicked out of the rest of the world too, and the contest between the "do nothing" party and the "make life worse" party will matter to Americans and Americans alone.
Good thing for the world. US has committed alongside USSR most amount of violence in the world in last 70 years. Not to mention US has invested many terrorist groups and many problems that exist today.
I agree entirely except for the thing about the USSR
USSR bombed Afghanistan to stone age.
Yeah, but it's not comparable to what America did in Korea or Vietnam
Or in Laos. USA and USSR were most violent countries. USA continues to be the most violent and rogue one alongside Israel and Russia at last.
You're right; it was much worse.
Huh, I looked it up and it was worse than I thought. Still only 10% of the population compared to 20% of the population in North Korea, but still very bad. Nevertheless, the Soviets did it once, while the Americans did it a whole bunch of times.
That's a nice fantasy, but, it's not real. This will be painful for the US and it will have less of an ability to leverage its ability to project power for diplomatic gains, it will be far more painful for the overwhelming majority of the rest of the world. The only winners in this are Russia and Iran (pending sanctions relief and the ability to rebuild their infrastructure), but the US and China (and their closest economic partners) lose the least, and between nations that's as near as makes no difference to winning.
For as long as the US remains a cohesive entity, it will remain a world power, if maybe not the global hegemon that it has been, but it's a long road from here to there and despite the best attempts of Trump et al, we're not there yet and there are many things that could yet happen to derail that process.
I wouldn't be so sure. You have a lot of money, a lot of people, and a large military, yes. But the money is fake, the people by and large aren't doing anything productive, and the military is less and less effective. You don't have the industrial capacity to be anything more than a regional power - what has made up for it in the time since you moved all your industry to China is your financial power, but that is dependent on, among other things, the petrodollar, which is now under direct threat.
Your neighbours will still have to worry about you, for a time at least, but outside of the western hemisphere you'll shortly be as relevant as you were 200 years ago or so.
Trump being President proves the USA is going down, and the world economy will suffer for it. But, inevitable.
