US has been building soft power like this for decades, and Trump is pissing it all away.
If this process to get rid of dependency on US gets well underway, there’s no turning that ship. US won’t recover the position it had in fifty years or more.
I’ve been pro US imperialism for a while now, but honestly I’m glad that the rest of the world is shedding the worst of our power projection.
On one hand the heel position has really pushed a lot of the world in a positive direction, but there’s gotta be a better fucking way then, like you said destroying half a century of international relations and cooperation. That’s not to mention the bigger issue of US supported genocide in Palistein and the ethnic cleansing operation in the states, which I can’t excuse for any 4d accidently good things on the geopolitical scale.
Has it though? I used to believe the same thing as you… But seeing the shit that has happened I started to look through history without red white and blue glasses… And I’m not sure America was ever a global good…
So many overthrown governments… So many sanctions… So much pressure on people… And behind the scenes it was always to expand power for some mega Corp…
And then all the fucking wars… Wars on wars on wars… The USA is CONSTANTLY killing someone somewhere…
It’s honestly a are we the baddies when you look back at history

This is not a bad thing. Over dependency on any one nation or even a bloc of nations is a bad thing.
I can’t help but think the dependency on the US that has been created played some role in what’s happening now.
Honestly, I can see that. America has been top dog for so long, it doesn’t value what it has.
