Jfc, the days of US hegemony are over. This idiot is seriously jeopardizing the USD's status as the world reserve currency. If that happens, that $39 trillion in debt will suddenly actually become a problem and we'll be giga-fucked. All of this for fucking nothing. (8/8)

Our allies in Asia are pissed because we both crashed their economies with no warning due to their huge reliance on Gulf oil AND are now pulling defensive assets from Asia to bolster the supplies we're burning thru in the Gulf, leaving them out to dry. (4/8)

Now, after using bad faith negotiations to attack Iran two separate times in less than a year, carpet bombing their capital with a larger population than New York, disfiguring their new leader, and assassinating his father, mother, children, and family, they sure as hell will want to get nukes.

On top of that, we've shown our military to be a fucking paper tiger; yea we can bomb shit, but despite our huge military budget we have 0 answer for drones despite having actual knowledge of this new age of warfare through everything going on in Ukraine. We're literally pushing ALL of our allies towards closer alignment with China while simultaneously giving China a front row seat to the limitations of our offensive and defensive capabilities. (6/8)

Our allies in Europe are pissed because we've fucked their economies, berated them, risked them dealing with an exponentially larger refugee crisis than with Syria and Yemen, shaken them down constantly over the last year, and are now pissed that they're unwilling to throw their own assets and citizens into a meat grinder of our own creation with no prior warning.

If they weren't already investing heavily in cheap one way drone tech, they sure as shit are now, and unlike the US, they can actually redirect their military budget effectively rather than throwing another trillion $ towards defense contractors for shit that doesn't work. (7/8)
