Yes.

I'd use my knowledge of history, politics, psychology and science to become an influential advisor to powerful lords and help them conquer the world in exchange for living in luxury.

Well that too. Like a country fighting for its survival and sovereignty would just give up because Trump said they should... They fought with nobody helping them in the beginning and they will keep fighting until there is no one left to fight. American help and intelligence is helpful but not decisive in whether they keep fighting. I just wish Trump would spend at least 5 minutes listening to an expert on the issue, is that too much to ask?

So they are probably mostly people who hate immigrant/colored people and want to be able to do so professionally?

Exactly, when people and organizations are selling their American stocks and companies and customers around the world stop buying American, there is less need for dollars. When the demand decreases, the price decrease.

Who are these ICE agents anyway? Asking as a foreigner. Do they have the same authority as police? Are they police? If you refuse or stop them is that obstruction of justice/resisting?

God the Trump admin is such a hot HOT mess... What did they expect? That Russia would just cave? They are so terrifyingly stupid, it genuinely makes me worried and we are only three months into his term...

Where did you get these numbers? I cannot find any sources to support them. Active personnel of mentioned countries is half to 2/3 of mentioned numbers. And this tells us nothing about these countries ability to produce new personnel.

Also, that's all on paper. When UK and France discuss a 'coalition of the willing' to act as peace keepers in Ukraine they are able to scrape together no more than a few tens of thousands, even though it is believed that 100-200K is required to be a deterring force.

We are talking about a force of several hundreds of thousands to be trained, armed and moved to a front to fight within a few months or at least within a year, in addition to already existing forces, a large part of which are unavailable to train new recruits because they are deployed.

I don't know that it is quite that bad, I think people will surprise you. Europeans stuck with Ukraine even though it costs and while some are turning their back they are a minority and they consider Ukraine none of the their business.

I think when another NATO or EU country is affected Europeans will see it very differently. It is an existential threat then. Russia wants to paint Europe as decadent and lazy, but Europeans stand firm when it really matters. We've proven that with Ukraine.

The bigger problem for Europe is to produce armed forces in the hundreds of thousands within the next few years. Making the hardware and training the soldiers in that small off a time will be difficult.

As for Americans... I don't really know where we have them. I do think there is a non-negligible chance they will be in a civil war by the end of the decade or the start of the next.
