By slashing all our sources of soft power and eroding our relationships with our allies, we are leaving a power vacuum in the world that will be certainly filled by China. The administration is already leaving Taiwan out to die.
But what is worst of all is that there is no rhyme or reason for this. If you want to argue USAID needed rework, fine. But don’t just kill it with no replacement planned.
Likewise, Trump got a symbolic (at best) concession from Mexico and nothing yet from Canada while displaying to the world that we are not trustworthy to deal with.
What the heck is wrong with you? We are not Russia, we don’t have “vassal” states. Why are MAGAs so bloodthirsty?
