It still sucks up a lot of their money and disables funding through taxes for a time

Fascists like each other? What a surprise. I would be pleased if she stays over there. The orange turd would love to free up a home for her by sending the inhabitants to a concentration camp.

Not sure how much “believe” is needed when the U.S. steps down in all areas and isolates itself in an astounding rush to the bottom. Only way to save the economy would be a war, which is also always fascisms means to persist. I just hope (in the form of hopium) that the centrists are right and america hasn’t already embraced fascism and the U.S. won’t start wars with anyone. God knows it sure looks that way watching from europe.

As well as it should not trust the U.S. the same again. While i absolutely despise the orange turd he has shown what has been true before: The west has been too reliant on the U.S. ,which both sides enjoyed while it lastet, as the U.S. called the shots, the rest of the west followed and we all benefitted (often on the backs of the global south ofc). No more. Maybe some good will come out of it (strong hopium, i know)
