Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades.
In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?”
They were skeptical.

There's arguably no effective way for any future administration to undo the strategic damage being done to the U.S.'s relations with these and other states.
No matter what we do, the U.S. will be seen as an untrustworthy, craven & mercurial "partner"—something simply to be endured or hedged.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.
That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase “Quick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

There are victim statements, witnesses, court documents and years of video and images that show Trump and Epstein were partners in crime, and they preyed upon young underaged gilrs. There is no doubt. #Accountability #Justice @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Trump’s word salad explanation of his pardon of Zhao, the founder of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange and a money launderer, will confound future historians who will wonder why they can find no substantive public commentary of the president’s dementia.

Trump and Orban are Putin puppets and assets and this is the murderous dictator they revere. The U.S. and Russia did not uphold the 1994 Budapest memorandum and no meeting should take place in Budapest. #StandWithUkraine @kyivpost.com @ec.europa.eu

After assaulting, publicly demeaning and kidnapping their victim in an unmarked van with NJ plates, Trumper storm troopers defamed her, and threatened to charge her with a crime. Then - in the face of public pressure - she was released with no charges.
Debbie Brockman, the WGN-TV producer violently arrested by ICE Friday morning in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, has retained an attorney and intends to “pursue all legal avenues available” to hold federal authorities accountable.
