Watching a world where we are running two 80 year olds against each other to lead a nation critical to a balance of power keeping democratic ideals alive in the West against increasing authoritarian pressures from the East where one privately promised Wall Street “nothing will materially change” and the other openly promises a Fourth Reich, all while the Earth is increasingly being poisoned to the point it’s becoming borderline unethical to condemn new lives to inherit the burden of those environmental consequences…
I’m fairly baffled by the resistance to the notion of intelligence which exceeds collective humanity being unable to be controlled by us.
We’re really doing a piss poor job. Maybe new management is exactly what’s needed.

I’m sorry but this is something so american to say 🤭 Although I agree, we’re not living in the best timeline 👍

“manifest destiny”, tons of propaganda, consumerism and utter bullshit from their upper classes have been ruining 'muricans brains for decades, that’s why the average joe spout that kind of shitty spiel acritically everywhere they go

I mean, just at Munich a few days ago the secretary-general of NATO was pointing out Europe’z dependence on the US’s nuclear threat and that without US aid to Ukraine the other NATO countries can’t make up the difference.
This is the first year in decades Germany is meeting the 2% spending goal for NATO. There’s a lot of scrambling to modernize military capabilities across non-US member countries but in most cases that’s 5 to 10 years away.
If you think that Europe doesn’t depend on the US’s military and intelligence to offset Russia and China you might want to look a bit more into the topic before assuming it’s just 'Murica exceptionalism.
