The US just made every one of their allies much less safe in this world

Venezuela was not a nice place and definitely not one of the good guys

What stops China from coming and lopping off the Pilbara?

Our alliances and defence capabilities, that’s how it is, that’s how it has always been

that’s the primary reason we’re spending billions on AUKUS and coincidentally Japan wants in as well

same with Taiwan, they have the:

Which they’ve been building for decades

It’s why for years we have been the US’s lapdog going into wars we never would have because we rely on them for protection

It’s why we have spent trillions over the previous decades on defence

This is why when I see things like

i facepalm, you can’t fend off an invasion with twitter posts

it’s why i want a much much stronger alliance with europe, its why i want a far stronger alliance with ukraine, its why i want us to have drone factories making millions of drones and having the spare capacity to send them to ukraine

This idea of rules based order hasn’t been true for a long time, if ever, there was like most of the 20th century a unique set of circumstances as china was in its century of humiliation

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation

and the united states is not nearly as bad as any of the nutter states iran/most of africa/most of middle east if they had the same technological capacity and capability and the UN got to pretend it had power

nothing has changed overall from what i can see in terms of might makes right, just who america is targeting and the fact china is returning to its previous former glory as the worlds super power
