- notyourwork 2mo agoAmerica is not on the path for greatness? Consider me surprised.
- downrightmike 2mo agoWorked better when that was Clinton's slogan
- Cernunnos 2mo agoClinton's path to greatness got the US into the mess that it is in right now, the whole neoliberal agenda is to blame for this.
- Sabinus 2mo agoShouldn't you be complaining about Regan and Thatcher then?
- downrightmike 2mo agoNixon opened up china to our manufacturers in 1971. Nixon promised the VietCong a better deal if they walked away from peace negotiations in 1969.
- api 2mo agoThey're doing great if you're on the beneficiary side: oil companies, defense contractors, the Trump family, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. All that is at the expense of the rest of the economy. The sectors that are hit the hardest tend to be, with the exception of those above, the ones who voted (disproportionately) for these people. ... which is what you get with a narcissist. The people hurt the most by a narcissist tend to be those closest or those that support them.
- vkou 2mo agoI'm pretty sure that Qatar and the Saudis are not exactly pleased with having their stuff blown up.
- petre 2mo agoQatar is pretty much screwed as they can't get the gas out of the Gulf. The Saudis will have to eventually do something about Yemen, because Bab Al-Mandab tanker traffic is also under threat and Asia id paying good money for fossil fuels right now.
- bix6 2mo agoTrue but I’ve heard they are in support of Iran getting decimated so they can fill the power vacuum.
- api 2mo agoSo many Americans don't understand that these two "branches" of the Muslim world are at odds as much if not more than Israel and the Muslim world. That whole region is a mess of deep long-standing divisions.
- dmix 2mo agoI'd still take UAE vs Saudi, over Iran destabilizing everything in the region (Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Western Sahara). Not to mention supporting Russia and North Korea.
- tty456 2mo agoMost corrupt administration. Hope all these guys do hard time.
- tartoran 2mo agoI doubt they'll do any time at all.
- bdangubic 2mo agonot only will they not do any time but people of the united states will elect them again in november and 2028
- tartoran 2mo agoPeople will not elect them but they will nonetheless win the elections. This is disheartening indeed..
- bdangubic 2mo agothis does help any rational conversation. if people go out and vote in numbers they should given what we’ve been through since the last election they will loose like 2018 and 2020
- Hikikomori 2mo agoTrump can pardon everyone on the way out, that is if democrats can even win another election due to election interference they're going to do. Based on the amount of corruption and crime they're doing they're don't expect to lose power.
- bix6 2mo agoYeah what’s the chance we get the pardon power changed and can charge these losers?
- thisislife2 2mo agoDepends on the political perspective. Has the US bet all on AI tech to retain its power? Yes. AI tech currently is very energy intensive. So energy infrastructure too needs money to expand. The "colonisation" of Venezuela has already secured the US one relatively cheap and secure source of energy. The Ukraine-Russia war, and now the Iranian war, allows the US to price gauge Europe on the gas it sells them ( https://www.politico.eu/article/vladimir-putin-war-europe-ukraine-gas-inflation-reduction-act-ira-joe-biden-rift-west-eu-accuses-us-of-profiting-from-war/ https://www.politico.eu/article/vladimir-putin-war-europe-uk... ). The Iran war is also enriching the oil companies. If Iran can be colonised, another source can be secured for the US too. Or so the thinking goes ... (there are of course other political factors that these kind of energy politics helps the US).
