    I think that the USA is lost already. Yeah it is big but only being able to trust it 4 years at a time, makes it a very unstable allied.

    The world needs trust and stability and I think that the USA has shown that the world can’t expect that of it. This is not about Trump. Its about the country as a whole, its population and the power that corporations and politicians have acquired

      We had many years of continuity, just like any other normal nation who has free elections and policy shifts. We are in a new paradigm now. I agree the shift really started with Citizens United and the corporate grab for power (politicians are just owned by the corpos). That can be reversed but it is not going to be easy. Falling into sects just cedes power to the corpo masters.

        This paradigm has been building for a long time. Bush II was a quarter century ago now and he was already sending the US off to invade countries arbitrarily to seize their resources back then.

        I don’t think the US is going to pull back from this paradigm quickly. It’s a generational process at best. So as an outsider who is under threat from the US I’m fine with quicker solutions to diminishing their power if that’s what it comes to.
