In other words Trump kicked a hornets nest and didn’t think about fumigating it first.
I was on board with the idea of allies contributing their fair share in terms of defence spending and becoming self reliant for their own defence. That would have made for a much stronger alliance and – potentially – more security & stability.
Instead we’ve ended up in a situation where the US has undermined relationships with all of its key allies, isn’t trusted by anyone militarily or economically, is militarily weaker from having just depleted their stockpiles of high end weaponry in Iran, and continues to actively trash the world economy by having cut off 20% of the global oil & gas supply with no way to fix it.
All of that plus giving free money to their geopolitical rivals by easing sanctions on Russian oil and allowing Iran to make more oil revenue than before the conflict in the Middle East started.
The high gas prices we see right now are just the tip. There’s a very real chance of full on global recession as the second and third order effects stack up over time. What will the US do then? Print yet more free money?
Didn’t Pentagon just divert $750 million of funding by EU for interceptors bound for Ukraine to replenish its own inventory?
I wonder if other non-Ukrainian military sales to European and other allies are also affected by this war of choice?
It might not be such a stab in the back if we had modernized and kept the manufacturing capacity that won us world wars. Of course, no country can predict the future and greed + corruption will doom us like it has many other top nations in the past. Fukushima’s end of empires turned out to be BS in the end.
