    what even is their goal? just yet i refuse to believe there is none and that theyre just dumb, because theyre obviously not.

    america first for every price? but would it not be better to trade with us and have us as allies versus china and russia? we would spend our money and work together so its all more efficient.

      The voters are stupid, all they see is “america first fuck yeah!” They don’t understand or care about the consequences

      I strongly disagree. They are actually very dumb and there is no grand strategy at play here. While everyone tries to understand the sense behind the erratic decisions, there really is not much to understand at all. It’s as simple as “we don’t want to spend money on European defense anymore”, so all activities related to that are stopped, without any regard to the consequences.

        They don’t need to be particularly smart, each to each, in order to both want to and be capable of annexing somewhere.
