he wants to reduce military spending by 50% too, so hard power will be down the drain as well.
You say this like it’s a bad thing
Comment on So, is the USA screwed?
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 days agoYeah no, this will be long term
First trump term, him fucking over all allies is something the allies could forgive. Second time, not so much. Allies now know they can’t rely on the US to be a trustworthy ally.
Trump already destroyed all soft power, he wants to reduce military spending by 50% too, so hard power will be down the drain as well.
Then he’s destroying the economy, he increased highcorruption like there is no tomorrow, he is destroying education and he is destroying all oversight on companies
He’s working hard on destroying democratic institutions too so forget fair elections, as if the US ever had any.
IMHO, the US will never recover from trump, and that is what it deserves. It always had the great chance to be truely great but it fucked itself around every corner trying to please the rich

It’s some very good news if he’s indeed dramatically downsizing the military. Give’s Canada and Mexico a fighting chance! Will Canada be USA’s next Vietnam experience?

Depends how that happens. I’ld see them sell off lots of high tech gear to highest bidding crazy people for a quick cash grab. Same amount of weapons, less controlled.
