'What is far clearer now... is that the US is no longer a credible world leader. If it can elect this man twice, it has lost the plot. Why would it not elect someone even worse? Such a country is incapable of providing reliable global hegemony. What it provides instead is an unpredictable wrecking ball'...

and hence, as I've remarked before, the slow but sure pivot away from the USA as an economic partner is well underway!

Me too, anything that puts the Tangerine Tyrant further from the EU is fine with me. Although maybe hit the brakes in that section with Canada?

Otherwise The Mid Atlantic Ridge is doing Gods Work.

It will continue on like a bloated whale corpse in a current for a decade or two, but it being a 50/50 shot to regress every 4 years means it will break up. At some point the Red state minority will have to enact measures so onerous the Blue will simply leave.

He's trying to blackmail EU States to commit to his war and invasion of Iran. His threat: no more support for Ukraine if Europe does not support him. What a moron!
He wants to cut up NATO, or at least it's nothing to him to do so.

I think it is entirely possible.

He has no stamina, no attention span, and he is really mad no one is coming to clean up his mess.

It would be very in character to just break the world economy and then storm off in a huff blaming everyone else for his mistakes.

If he claims victory and the US just leaves, that would be a win for all.
But I doubt it'll happen.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake."

Thank you. That is much preferable to say in polite company than "never get in the way of a man trying screw himself in the ass.'

Yeah, basically the America voted out its own superpower status. The really rich guys out of Silicon Valley and the guys from project 2025 always hated international cooperation. They’ve been extremely successful toppling the nation in a lot of different ways.

Dismantling dollar dominance could have a real value to it in terms of rebuilding local business, but the people behind it aren’t interested in that
