The problem for the US and Americans with Trump’s rhetoric and positioning is everyone thought you were “allies”. Sure you were the stronger big brother in these relationships, but your jerk behaviour seemingly was directed externally allowing those allies to sell a narrative, which their people bought, that you were fundamentally their friends and acting in everyone’s best interests.

The problem for the those “allies” and their people; Brits, Canadians, Australians, Kiwis, Koreans, Japanese, and the various European peoples, is without that veil, the narratives don’t hold. The people can’t pretend you’re friends when you’re bullying them relentlessly and actively making their lives worse.

When the US was secretly funding anti-nuclear movements in the West to maintain their petrodollar system, you got away with it because you weren’t rubbing peoples noses in it. It was subtle. Only a few understood what you were truly doing. As a result, very few amongst those allied countries disliked or opposed the US.

Now you’ve got Trump talking and acting like this and all subtlety is gone. Even retarded leftists can see what you’re doing. Nobody needs to connect dots anymore, they just need to listen to Trump and Friends and it’s immediately clear that you’re not allies, you’re Suzerains who are no longer able to bully the world but are unable to stop being bullies, and have decided to beat up on those kid brothers instead.

US elites have determined that if you can’t have the global reserve currency, you can at least force the Dollar on your vassals under the assumption you’d be able to uphold a narrative like you used to, that US actions are actually good and in the interests of their allies too.

I really don’t think it’s going to work any more. The pretences which shaped perceptions have been dropped and the jerk behaviour is now too obvious. Even if Obama came back for a third term, too much has shifted now.

Yet they’re going to do it anyway and seem to think shoving it down peoples throats will work because you’ve still got aircraft carriers.. That’s not how the world works in 2026.

Once the little brothers realise they don’t need to put up with your blackeyes any more, Americans are going to be the last ones left holding the bag for the dollar Ponzi. Sure it will be painful for those “allies”, they could even end up worse off with their own incompetent parasites in charge and I have already actively exited this sphere because I only see things getting worse.

But Americans have by far the most to lose here yet they don’t seem to know it. When you’re on top, you’ve got farthest to fall. When you’ve alienated all your “friends” and can’t put on a friendly face between the beatings, no-one will care if you implode and tear yourselves apart.

This will not be a good century to be an American.

Yeah clearly diplomacy is over. It seems the Trump admin (or the deep state or whatever) thinks they can just muscle the situation using energy and weapons. That may work for a little while, but it'll end in catastrophy. A majority of Americans are not happy with Trump, but they are also ignorant t...

The only thing surprising is that the system is able to survive for so long. People know they should eat healthy, they know they should exercise. People don't want to know the actual tax burden. People don't want to know how the fiat system works. People don't want to know how and by whom their che...

The leadership in Europe is corrupted and the only corruption mechanism that bribes them, comes from USA. Only corruption and blackmailing keeps the dollar right now, not real use cases

The current US administration wants problems with Europe to have an excuse to capture Greenland. That's my take.

I don't think you understand America at all. You look at it through an internet/media lens which is not correct. If you believe the US is in trouble, Europe will collapse decades before the US does. The US has unlimited energy, minerals and raw materials. The US has the best scientists and engineers...

You’ll see this propensity to bully and dominate turned inward on US citizens in the final act.
