feel free to keep scrolling elessar, you dont need to click on this thread… The actions going on atm including tariff war means we are genuinely living through a period where the sphere of american influence / free world order / american empire is collapsing from within. it’ll take a decade but basically every ally in the free world has looked at the country that promised to lead it post WW2 and has decided that they are now untrustworthy and untrustworthy ally status is worse than enemy state status.

The goods and services that will be created to plug the gap will all be home grown by individual countries and will not benefit the american markets. the whole thing is a net loss for literally reasonable human being in the free world.

To put it into gaming terms, nobody will want to get involved in a doubles tournament with the USA atm because they’re likely to damage your gaming experience to make themselves feel better through bullying friends. Rule one of gaming is built on trust, ‘dont be a dick’, nobody will want to play a game going forwards with a dick…. whereas in the previous 80 years every ally did join them for a doubles tourney.
