      Yet it was the main beneficiary of that rules based system it wrote and enforced for 70 years. 

      Time to change that.

      The USA is about to realise that the world does not revolve around it.

      I can see why he thinks that way when every check and balance means nothing. All he can do is take, and for all it’s power and greatness, it sure looks bleak for Americans just trying to live their lives. And it’s that complacency that also brought us all here.

      *Trump* believes that power matters more than international law and he’s not a king.

      This has been the case for over half a century, only the US regime is no longer openly challenging this insinuation!

      Power is the sum of raw power + soft power. The US just decided to cancel half of the equation and they are worse off…

      Yes, and therefore the world must see US under the current administration as a power hungry ego maniac similar to Russia, who is bent on destroying the world,

      Well if usa believes it is the only one enforcing the law I guess it is to them

      Saw a clip of a Republican saying that military action on Greenland would result in him impeaching Trump.

      Maybe… don’t let the madman openly talking about it get that far? Ever think of that?

      Let’s be real. Europe has been living in this Liberal Democratic fantasy for 70 years. Sitting back believing in the „rules based order“ and „international law“ (which by the way only ever seemed to apply to themselves) and now we are woken to the fact that laws only work if you are able to enforce them. In that sense Trump has done us all a favour.

      We all think we have come so far in the World but its what it has always been, law of the jungle and who has the biggest stick.

      Cancellation of military equipment contracts would send the message pretty quickly. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t happened yet. The US spends so much on military research and they can afford to purchase their own equipment because other countries also buy it from them. The scale up of the manufacturing process allows for cost savings, but once the customers say, „Fuck this. I’m not going to buy something that you might have control of in the event we must defend ourselves from you.“

      And if we keep bowing to their pressures, they’re right.

      The US is currently split internally and Trump has made the whole world his enemy. If we put the pressure on them, they’re much more likely to crack first. Yes, it’ll hurt at home, but if we don’t it’ll hurt so much worse in due time.
