Honestly one of the few good things they’ve done. Seeing American military might so defeated is a good sign for the wellbeing of all countries.

I'm as happy as the next guy to see them eat shit with everything that's happening, but let's not pretend a weakened and exposed USA is going to be beneficial to global peace and order. The US shitting themselves has become Christmas for bad actors

Taiwan and a few others aren't as happy about it. EU isn't ready to fill the hole and few others can be trusted to try. Fast downturns are always worse than slow ones you can prepare for.
