Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?

i think the most dangerous mistake one can make is to underestimate the power of a military budget that’s almost half that of the world’s military budget.

such mistakes can be made only once before the country gets couped or taken hostage by the US.

in these times i think it’s important to band together and set aside our differences!

What do you expect other countries to do? A preemptive strike?

  To build up their armies and get independent from American, Russian, and Chinese interests.
  
  And to undermine fascism and its (potential) allies at every opportunity possible.

I don’t think you understand where US military power was coming from. It was not just the money, it was the ability to project that power easily (having bases in Europe, etc for example).

That was the ‘soft power’ everyone was talking about. Orange mongoloid had now destroyed that and I don’t think it’s coming abxk any time soon.

Everyone is basically letting idiots destroy themselves and watching their moves. There is nothing anyone else can do right now.

Except Chinese and Russians. They are rolling on the floor laughing…

  I mean there’s that… but there’s also the fact that nobody has been stupid enough to break the seal on the Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear issue. Report after report shows trump is really really anxious to find a reason to use a nuke.
