I think you mean America is not a nation, also besides north-america there is also south-america. You can argue as much as you want about about them being separate continents or not, they definitely share a name. I also talk about Americans when I mean people from US but if someone corrects me the only argument i have is that other people also do that.

I agree, the us' imperialism is driven by a lot more than just a few individuals at the top. The 'aesthetics' would likely have kept a lot more allies on board. But the biggest change I see is how the powers driving the country are not only hurting a lot of people outside of the US (which goes for most developed countries), but is also more and more hurting people inside the US (similar to oppression in autocratic countries).
As far as the war in Iran goes I'm not so sure, if Democrats would have continuously stayed in power, the deal would most likely be up. But then the defense industry would still push for war somewhere else, so who knows what the world would have looked like. I'm not convinced it would look better.
I didn't want to either, so here is a link to the full article: http://archive.today/2025.06.21-220113/https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lists-reasons-he-deserves-nobel-prize-in-epic-meltdown/
And here is the part you ask about:
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River),” Trump wrote on Friday. “And I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!’”
He added, “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!
If they actually give him a nobel peace price I don't think I'll be able to comprehend that. My brain will have an error for as long as I live probably.
Everyone saying Ukraine was less a threat to Russia than Iran is to Isreal is 100% right. That is a valid point. Thing is, just being a threat is not a valid reason to bomb another country. What Merkel fails to do is provide a legal argument for Isreal and US bombing Irans nuclear facilties.
It is just more of the 'Germany should stand behind Israel because of what Germans did to Jews in WW2'. I'd much rather see her 'stand behind victims of Genocide because of what Germans did to earlier victims of genocide'. German politicians are morally wrong with these arguments.
International law is neutral. It is obvious Iran did not start this war. Iran breaking agreements does not give anyone carte-blanche for bombing them, nor does Iran supplying weapons to Russia. Israel bypassed the UN as well. Netanyahu needs to be brought to The Hague. Trump and Khominei too while we're at it, but I guess those would be separate cases.

Streets ahead?
I read somewhere the US both has a really high incarnation ratio (as in amounts of prisoners per x citizens) and a high percentage of externally employed prisoners. Interestingly those stats where compared to Russia (Siberian labour camps) and China (Uyghurs in forced labour).
Big corpos probably lining up to strike a bargain rn
I guess the countries sceptical or hostile back than didn't really have much reason to change their mind about us. But Trump sure did a lot of damage to the relationship with befriended countries, guess all he has left are strategic allies with a similar world view. But I guess that's what autocrats want after all. Who needs friends if you've got power. But for me personally, even though my view on american people didn't change much my desire to support them definitely increased. If i were to meet someone from the US tomorrow that person would likely get a better treatment from me than if I had met him a few years ago. Not that i feel sorry for them or anything, but i just am really glad im not in their shoes. Had a colleague from Russia years ago, who left a hostile nation behind. Think I'd feel similarly for someone migrating from the US.
Cool, good luck. I guess there is a lot of money there, hope you load up lol
They are really trying to see how low they can go.
