    Reading the comments here, It seems my disabled, poor ass is never going to get to leave the USA, even if I had the means. I voted against the orange regime and it’s similar evils over the years… And yet, I will be condemned to the mass grave that is soon to be America. I guess know that I genuinely tried my best, from talking relatives on how the orange was evil, to helping people vote for candidates that aligned more with the world’s values, and protested even if it wasn’t on the street, it was in my own way… Because I’m disabled in the USA… and it sometimes difficult to even survive, let alone topple an evil regime. But if I am to be lumped in with rest of the pigs if the US… I guess. When you find my body, you’ll wonder how a human got in the pig mass grave.

    The US so broken that if they want to apologize, SCOTUS, congress, and the senate are have to each as a whole go around to every Provincial capital and apologize on their knees. After they threatened to invade Canada and Denmark we demand no less. The legislative branch is equally guilty, they are just letting this happen. And yes we don’t care if it was 51% of the executive branch, the dems are part of the problem.

    Somewhat. Reversing a lot of policies and respecting allies again will go a long way, but it’s going to take some time. New pathways have already been forged that will leave the usa somewhat excluded and behind. They will be a diminished nation from what they once were, and that would be a good thing, as they no longer shared any values with most of the rest of the world. trump is nothing more than the lipstick on the pig that has become “america”.

    Yes, but

    It will never go back. The new US will need to learn to be one of many at the table. A powerful one by all means, but one of many nevertheless. The ability to dictate terms to others is gone, all of the leverage has been used, for little gain, and the trust isn’t there anymore. Everyone has hedged against the US, decoupled, and persued other arrangements.

    Europe is gone from the empire and will demand massive concessions to let the US even near its strategic policy. Concessions the US can probably can not pay. Remember, the US started a war with the Russians on Europe’s doorstep and then not only abandoned it’s allies, it threatened to invade from the other side (and is still doing so). Europe deployed against the US. The US is openly hostile - an enemy of Europe. There’s no coming back from that.

    For better or worse the US is on its own now. Allies are theoretical at best. On its own the US is a western hemisphere regional power. The global power it enjoyed came from the alliances and it was paid for by the economic interdependence of the alliance system. That system is over.

    The dominance of the USD is done, that was based on trust, trade is no longer conducted in USD exclusively and currencies no longer route through USD. With the reserve currency status destroyed, the US will have to learn to pay it’s bills like everyone else, from productive work. No more printing money to pay debts on printed money.

    Without those things trillion dollar military budgets are out of the question, global force projection becomes impossible. Even enforcing Monroe is probably impossible, the Chinese and Europe are already making inroads in south America and as those investments increase so will the need to protect those.

    So apologies are necessary for a reset of relations, yes. But those new relations will look very different from what we have known. It’s a multi polar world now and the US sphere of influence is shrinking to just north America, and even there, the other two countries are not on board and are moving towards EU.

    The future is one of US decline and it’s up to Americans how they want to navigate it. Learn to live with the others or fight a losing battle against everyone. Or end the world.

    Fix America for good. We are watching. A personal apology tour will not be needed, as long as this president will fix what is broken, inside the US and in international relations.

    I honestly don’t see America lasting long enough to get another president if he tries to remain in office. Not that he would be able to manage it, but the calamity would be enough to make it all fall apart. As it is, it’s hard enough finding a job right now. And those that do have jobs are struggling to get by as it is. America’s already being dismantled, and there’s just no way Democrats win for the next 40 years in a row to fix it. But our infrastructure was already shit, and it keeps getting worse because nobody’s willing to spend the money to get it done. Between that, election rigging, natural disasters due to climate change, our failing economy… It doesn’t look good and America’s best hope is balkanization.

    Strangely enough I almost think the military is our best hope of redemption. Think about it, all the “checks and balances” have failed. The last way our “government” can be redeemed is if the military throws a coup to overthrow the president and host another election. The world cannot see that we are ok with our govemrnent being the way it is without consequence. Will this happen? No. But I do think it’s one of the few ways to retain our global credibility that’s already all burnt up.

    There was a majority of the people in the USA voting for that political solution. The government is just mirroring the people. Everyone voting in 2024 will have to die before the people of the USA has the chance to become trustable again.

    I don’t know that it would help. The longer Americans keep Trump in power, the more their former allies realize that it isn’t “just Trump”.

    too much damage has been done, the next dem is likely going to be someone like NEWSOME, which as you know is just old guard DNC.
