Too bad all the other governments are so beholden to our government that we'll drag everyone else down with us.
To an extent, but I really don’t think the US has the “forever grip” it thinks it has. No country ever has lasted forever.
Nor will it. I think this is the part where we lose our grip. On reality as well.
I don't think the USA has the pull they used to, other countries are increasingly viewing them as an unreliable ally. Both in terms of trade and defence.
Other governments are still too deferential to the US for my taste. Hopefully that changes.
