[Covfefe buffoon] Who will lead the free world now?

LOL crazy kids, of course the US will still lead the free world even if you don't agree with everything the president does. Stay triggered though, it's providing plenty of unintended comedy for sane people.

 

Did you mean to start a thread just to rant ... or was this meant for another thread? This place is started to become worse than the GARM with pointless threads.

 

He's triggered, just let him get it out and laugh at him for it.

 

We can still bully Mexico.

 

It's not really arguable, at least for the next couple of years. We've said we want NO part in leading the free world. We're going to massively cut international assistance, back away from long-time allies of democracy and freedom, and abandon important international treaties. I mean, that's not debatable.

So who could lead the free world? Germany is the obvious answer, but if China keep loosening its strings, I wouldn't sleep on China stepping in and making an increasingly strong bond to Europe and democracies in general. That would an incredibly strange turn of events, but they could really become incredibly powerful if they more fully married their growth, their resources, and their increasing embrace of science to an increasing freedom of its people.

I mean, I'm not holding my breath for that, and I wouldn't welcome that necessarily, but in any case, it's a fair question. A whole lot of our allies are asking the question the "triggered" (sic) OP is asking. (Shrug) Just topic of the day, really, for anyone paying attention. Technically we're no where near a democracy anymore anyway. We function just like an oligarchy.

 

Yeah, Germany is a good answer. I think a lot of the world will wait to see if this bout of madness will pass in 2020, if it doesn't by then America will seem a lost cause.

The isolationist strategy is flat out stupid in this modern age of ours where anyone could travel to another country on a whim if they had the resources to do so. It may have been a sound strategy in the early 1900s and before, but now it is just stupid.

 

Well, it's a sound strategy if you want to gear up for major conflict. Over-spending on the military would fit that plan too.

Having a chief advisor with apocalyptic visions fits that strategy. Seepin' Bunyon has, on multiple occasions, excitedly spoken of how each major war has been larger than the last and all these wars are just part of an inevitable pattern. Dude could be right, and then there are also self-fulfilling prophecies. Just takes enough crazy people.

 

The truth is we can't go on at this rate for even 200 years. There needs to be a big population reduction. The elites are now in the end game, grabbing every possible resource, syphoning money out of the US taxpayer on the pretense of war and other things, putting in place the foundation of a police state. The billionaires will be fine no matter what happens with global warming, the economy, and everything else. We have to realize it is the common American who is being choked out. If any of you clowns thinks Trump or other American billionaires care about you more than they do some random African, you're mistaken. Most major decisions are never even intended to help the masses in any way. The elites are in it for themselves, and they want the rest of us to turn to dust, the sooner the better.

 

If I was Estonia, I would be more than worried at this point.

 

I think they are going to become BFF .

 

IMO Merkel will make Macron fall into line behind her. It's pretty clear that Germany's conquest of Europe was much more successful the 3rd time than it was the first 2 times they tried.

Leading isn't leading if you can't pick which direction to go....what they really mean is "America isn't doing what we want and we're upset about it". The last president was a gimp b**** who would fall in line and do whatever he was told to do no matter if it was good for the country or not, this one won't. You can agree or disagree with him, but that much is clear.
