Did USA give up any power? I'm missing something or people are not paying attention at all?

One of our greatest strengths is that we build coalitions. We just told the world that if you ally with us, you better be ready to grovel.

For example, places like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are capable of building nuclear weapons but they didn't bc they trusted us to protect them. Each of those countries are now imagining themselves sitting there in front of cameras being berated for ingratitude.

Without our allies we are much less powerful.

They didn't do it because they can't without US approval.

That is false. But I think I see where you're coming from, you may be more interested in !chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world

I can't figure out if that community is supposed to be satirical or not.

Trump is 100% a Russian asset, wild to see that after it was blatantly obvious the first go around we were like "yeah let's out a Russian spy back in the white house."

What you are saying is that the president of the most powerful country in the world, that spend 10 times more in war than russia, that run the biggest surveillance network ever seen in history, that has thousand of military infrastructures around the planet and that has the most technological advanced army in the world is 100% a russian asset...

This is obviously subjective and depends how you define "asset".

If you're asking whether Trump is a red sparrow recruited as a orphan and trained in espionage, ballet, and martial arts from the age of 4, that's obviously not the case.

If you're asking whether Trump is easily manipulated by his desire for validation from competitors, or his desire to exert power over others, then that's obviously true.

imagine using your brain and looking at reality as it is actually playing out. Based on your previous comment, I thought that included you.

I'm looking around and what i see is that USA hasn't actually lost any significant amount of power.

You are deluded then.
