happening as we speak, but I guess some people have infinite capacity for ignoring the real world

got through 40 minutes... but too long.

sign of a desperate collapsing empire for US to vote for Trump, who threatens BRICS and everyone else with massive tariffs.

Biden has been exceptionally skillful in strengthening the devotion level of colonies to US even as majority of the world moves away. Germany loves US's bombing of Nordstream, FFS, and Australia spending equivalent share of GDP of US of $8T for imported nuclear subs to protect its trade with China from China, as a gauge for level of submission. US colonies are accepting recession to help prop up US economy.

Trump's style of overtly embarrassing everyone else can't work as well. And certain collapse of alliances is certain to follow. Military coups in Europe will result if they don't. US collapses without its colonies.

Interesting take! The global landscape is definitely shifting with groups like BRICS gaining traction. Tariffs and trade dynamics can shake up things quite a bit, but let's not count out the resilience of the dollar just yet. These changes are complex and watching 'em unfold is like watching a real-life drama, plus the popcorn is free.
