"There are many ways a country can decline. It can become poorer and weaker or lose its alliances or its technological edge.

But there is another, more insidious form of decline: a country can become stupider.

That is what has happened to American policymaking under Donald Trump."

"This is a very stupid man who imagines he can—not just bully enemies as military strategy—but abuse allies and they’ll keep coming back for more.

Consider: Poor Donald Trump got a no from the UK’s Kier Starmer about joining the initial strikes on Iran and hesitated sending aircraft carriers to the region."

@Blumine Yes. I can't imagine that any of the commentators I excerpt above is suggesting otherwise.
