      That in your efforts to shit on the US, you ignore the fact that other, more vulnerable economies will be brutally battered, whether they support the US or not

      Your childishness is ignorant to the ripples in the pond

      I want to see the power and influence of the US weakened to the point where they are the same as everyone else, but I recognise that ripping the carpet out from under them would hurt many people, and unfortunately, most of them will be the already precarious and vulnerable

        The brutal battering of vulnerable economies is Trump’s exact intention. He started that process before he attacked Iran. You can’t view this war in isolation: he is starving Cuba, robbing Venezuela, threatening the rest of NATO…

        We can’t avoid the bad outcomes of American aggression; they are upon us. Stopping Trump would be the only ‘good’ outcome at this point - I think that is what the previous poster meant by ‘good for the rest of the world.’

        It’s like how amputation and chemotherapy is ‘good’ for a cancer patient if it saves their life.

        Maybe they shouldn’t have started a country based on genocide and slavery and then unlimited illegal wars of aggression and exploitation of the rest of the world?
