It's really fascinating the way the US has alienated most of its allies in such a short time frame. I can't think of a single example of something like this happening in history.
I've grown to view the government as a necessary evil for the time being until society is somehow restructured to something better that doesn't need it. I also dislike the USA government as a citizen specifically.
However it still blows my mind how quick and seemingly irreparably trump and his team have destroyed our relationships with basically everyone. It's so mind bogglingly short sighted.
It's not shortsighted tho. This is the endgame. This is where they try to kill off as many people as possible, as fast as possible to make sure their bunkers are survivable. They're banking that if they hide underground for a few years, they'll re-emerge from their nests to find a eutopia where a million or so people have the whole planet to themselves. This is delusional, obviously, but these people have never understood reality.
No... Its almost as though Trump is sabotaging the US' reputation...
