    The American empire is on the verge of collapse. It won’t be missed.

      The entire world will have to rebuild. Not sure why everyone wants the US to be as bad as Russia.

        The entire world will have to rebuild.

        Will it? The trade relations with US will not disappear suddenly. US will still import/export whatever they can and the rest of the world will reorganize slowly. New military alliances will be forged and this will also be a gradual process. US will be left isolated, the world will move on. The world will see some changes but it will not be destroyed.

            They will invest heavily in defense to become independent from US. It will take 5-10 years but it’s doable.

            They will forge new relations with Canada, UK, South America, India and Africa.

            They will expand and invite new members like Ukraine, Moldavia and the Balkans.

        Nobody wanted it. It’s the Americans who stupidly and ignorantly chose that path without even thinking they did.

          To be fair, Trumpstein and gang had multiple opportunities to be arrested for child sex trafficking in other countries too. No one puts criminals where they belong, eventually they will end up where they don’t belong.

        Nobody wants it except republicans, but Americans are hell bent on letting republicans destroy their country.

        Why do you think everyone wants the US to be bad? Let alone as bad as Russia?

        Unfortunately for almost everyone, in many ways, the US is already worse than Russia.

        I want the US to support the rule of law, negotiate with honesty for mutual benefit, respect human rights, reform its political system to achieve democracy internally and stop invading, threatening to invade or otherwise interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations. But the US is what it is.

        These days I feel like its not Russia vs USA, its Russia & USA vs China.

        Personally I’m all-in on the EU though.

          I’m not saying we’re competing, I’m saying we don’t want to compete for the bottom and be like russia. They’re really hurting right now.
