Governments will change, people on the top might change. The question is whether they will face any consequences for their actions. Will the US as a whole face any consequence of its actions. Like the consequences other countries face when they do the stuff America is doing right now.
Or will it be back to normal as soon as the regime changes.
Will there be any lasting effects in how the world deals with US?
Given how old Trump is, probably not any clear consequences. Perhaps if America continues what its doing, eventually some of the people involved today will face consequences of their actions.
Stuff like having oil and not being a vassal? Its clearly not based them doing awful things to people, otherwise we’d be bombing places like Israel instead of providing them bombs. Anyways, probably not. Nukes are at least a deterrent against direct aggression…
I’d love to believe so. Its disheartening seeing how much W. Europe and Australia have been on-board with all of this though, but we’ll see if that changes over time. They’re still working on becoming more independent of the US and that will take some time. I’d be cool if it disrupted US relations with GCC states and further downgraded the role USD as the petrodollar (and/or a renewed push to become less dependent on fossil fuels). It’ll be interesting to see the consequences of going through many years of military supply production in a couple weeks
Thing is Trump is not the only one in the government. Everyone from the top to the very bottom of GOP is involved in each and everything the government is doing.
Whether or not Trump faces consequences is immaterial if he is just made a scapegoat while US continues being the world bully.
