The USA cannot be allowed to fall, not to Trump or any other despot, because even in its current state: China and Russia are worse and will leap, claws out, at any opportunity created by the fall of the USA.
Just like Iran, the best outcome is that it must simply change.
We're fucked either way.
Funny that you think the collapse of the US can be stopped.
Russia's lasted 20 years under a despot, China over 70 years.
Russia's lasted under nothing but despots for >500 years.
Big fan of this joke.
All Russian history can be compressed into five words.
"...and then, it got worse."
Yes but I was only counting their current system, though Putin certainly does appear like a continuation of the USSR except more christian and less friendly to women.
He personally actually wants the old Russian Empire back.
The problem with that statement is it implies he would just stop the moment he obtained all those territories. People make the same claims about China's expansions. It's not true, they will wage war to the very end of the earth if not stopped.
I don't see how it implies that, as that empire or any others never stopped and said, "yep, that's good enough".
For one moment I thought you were speaking about another country
People like Trump and Le Penn are just as dangerous. That's why autocracy must always be stopped.
The US and Israel MUST be allowed to bomb every school and hospital they want FOR THE GREATER GOOD
Or perhaps the fascist imperial ambitions of the US and Israel are bad, actually
Edit: to the people downvoting, the US and Israel have already bombed multiple hospitals and schools in Iran. They are using the exact same type of Dahiya doctrine, also known as the deliberate mass targeting and destruction of civilian architecture, as they did in Gaza.
If the precision airstrike bombs that hit the elementary school turned out to be Iranian it wouldn't surprise me at all. Trump is only in power now because of Russian and Chinese election interference in the USA.
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault. <- you are here
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
ditto
No, I do think it's the USA's fault
So your solution is what? Have another hostile (and worse) world power conquer them? Eradicate them, maybe? What?
Solution for what?
The USA.
at this point, the USA is just as bad as any of the rest so I don't buy your position even if it were inevitable which it is not.
The USA will implode, if not through war, at least economically and then, most likely, the EU would be the next in line
So your plan is to complain for the next 20 years, then bend over and wait for China to fuck you?
Again, I do not believe your assessment is correct so no, I do not expect to bend over for China...
Rich for you to attempt to make this case when currently, literally, the USA is asking the rest of the world to bend over and take it
American exceptionalism is one hell of a drug
If you fell for that bs here, I bet you fell for that same bs when they did the same in Gaza.
Trump won because Biden/Harris ran such a profoundly bad campaign that they lost votes to the couch. So bad that they're either staggeringly incompetent or deliberately fumbled.
