No, just genocide as usual, a few proxy wars, typical neoliberal US foreign politics, and then a threat to the American public that if we didn't allow business as usual to continue unabated, we would experience domestic hardship through Trump.
- insane_dreamer 1y ago> just genocide as usual, a few proxy wars, typical neoliberal US foreign politics that's all terrible stuff but the reality is all that has been happening almost non-stop since the 50s. US foreign policy has always been a shit-show. what we're seeing today is an extra thick layer of daily bshit on top of the usual layer > a threat to the American public that if we didn't allow business as usual to continue unabated, we would experience domestic hardship through Trump which turned out to be even more true than anyone thought was possible
- soulofmischief 1y ago> US foreign policy has always been a shit-show Yes, that's why I said as usual and typical. > what we're seeing today is an extra thick layer of daily bshit on top of the usual layer No, as far as foreign politics it's really same shit different day, we're siding with dictators and meddling with other countries' affairs, economically bullying other countries... Just more out in the open now, and with a somewhat different set of dictators. The only material difference is that Trump's mission is to weaken our global supremacy, which is a mixed bag, as some of that supremacy should indeed go away, but tariffs etc are not the fucking answer. > which turned out to be even more true than anyone thought was possible I thought it was going to be even worse. We still have 4 years to find out how bad it gets.
