Pushing back against a US that is at this point economically and militarily dominant does nothing. It might push for cooperations outside the US-sphere.

- thrance 2mo agoAre they still dominant? They can't even win their war against Iran. And everyone is slowly moving away from the dollar. The US as world hegemon is counting its days.
- LeBit 2mo agoHasn’t won against Iran. Is out of ammo. Cannot win against Russia in the proxy war with Ukraine. Cannot match China with their long term energy plans. Has debt that explodes Has a president that sells early access to his tweets for 100k$ a year ; insider trading in the open. The USA are not in a good posture right now.

- foogazi 2mo ago> Cannot win against Russia in the proxy war with Ukraine. Ukraine existing even with Trump waging war against Iran negates this argument
- LeBit 2mo agoNot sure what your argument is. Ukraine is keeping its head out of the water despite Trump doing everything it can to help Russia. It shows how much Ukraine is resilient and innovative with drones. Trump has depleted the ammo needed by Ukraine and Taiwan. Imagine if he had helped Ukraine by forcing Musk to provide Starlink connections reliably and provided Patriots as needed.
- TheSkyHasEyes 2mo ago> It might push for cooperations outside the US-sphere. BRICS is just that for oil. The US is not indefatigable. As of March 2026 the nine largest foreign holders of US Treasury securities are Japan, UK, China, France and Canada. All nations the US is jerking around. If they dump bonds US in big trouble. Oh, and the US is almost $40T in debt.
- jppittma 2mo agoYeah, but that's a suicide pact. In order to sell us debt at a loss, they have to take a loss.
