This is just crazy. The speed at which the US reputation gets burned is simply mind blowing. Americans might think that nobody pays attention, but everyone does. The Finns are already evaluating how to do without weapons systems that the US could potentially “switch off”. Ditto for anyone having F35s.
The consequences of the antics of this administration (and Musk is part of it, no doubt) will be very far reaching. One of the more obvious consequences being the loss of credibility.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoVery childish. And even Rubio, who you would expect to take an expected diplomatic approach, is now talking like Elon and JD, with "say thank you" bullying. Pretty shocking.
- dragonwriter 2y ago> And even Rubio, who you would expect to take an expected diplomatic approach, Rubio is a longtime political opportunist with no diplomatic experience or background and a history of knuckling under to Trump specifically. I’d expect him to be a consummate yes man as long as he is in the Administration (and I wouldn't expect anything the Administration might decide to cause him to leave, no matter how out of line with “expected diplomatic” norms), and its very clear the tone the Administration has decided on from the top. Why would you have any other expectation?
