"We're going to be [suing] through the Department of Justice," Trump said when asked about Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting push in California.
Russia has also shown us how quickly a shitty narcissistic leader can utterly waste a formidable military and reduce it to being meat waves of confused prisoners and immigrants who thought they were going be factory workers. With people like Trump and Hegseth in charge with no experience and no ability to be reasoned with, paired with their insane lack of opsec and abundance of comprised personnel, the US could run out of expensive toys very quickly in a global conflict.
Our allies, NATO, and the general support and acceptance that we were the “good guys” (or at least generally better than the alternative) was a far FAR greater asset, and those wheels are already falling off.

It’s incredibly sad how quickly we’ve squandered what took an incredible amount of blood, resources, and time to build. We emerged from WWII as the most formidable power in the world, and instead of using that power to conquer and exploit, we instead used it build allies and good will instead, and created the Western World Order. We helped rebuild Japan and Germany and made them into staunch allies. Instead of using military threats and coercion, we used soft power to bring countries around to our way of thinking. As a consequence, we made ourselves and the rest of the world wealthy. Now we have spoiled children with no understanding of how things work or the precarious nature of our prosperity making ham-fisted changes and bullying the world, using threats to try to coerce nations that we should be treating as allies. Before we were the benevolent giant. Now we are a dangerous threat to be dealt with.
