This might be the moment historians point to as the turning point—the beginning of the end of American global leadership.
When the Vice President of the United States threatens a NATO ally and speaks casually about taking foreign territory as if it’s a Monopoly board, it’s more than just reckless rhetoric. It’s a signal to the world that the people now running U.S. foreign policy have no understanding of how American power was actually built.
They don’t grasp that America’s strength wasn’t just military—it was built on trust, alliances, trade, and decades of strategic consistency. That foundation, laid carefully over 80 years, is now being torn apart by people who treat diplomacy like a PR stunt.
And here’s the reality: once you destroy that trust, you don’t just get it back with a new election or a better speech. You’ve shown the world you’re unstable. Unreliable. No one bets on a partner who flips the table every four years.
This isn’t just short-term damage. It’s existential. The global system the U.S. built is shifting—fast. Europe is moving on. Allies are rearming. China is stepping into the vacuum. And unlike the U.S., Beijing doesn’t self-sabotage.
The next century may not be America’s—because it gave up everything that made it powerful. Willingly. Carelessly. Loudly.
@MikeMarugg@TallbarFIN Been travelling to the States a lot of times at wanted to bring my family some day. Yesterday was too much for me. Never going again.
@Emilio13766887@MBrgger Synes du seriøst, at det Trump foretager sig lige pt, er noget vi skal takke ham for?
Den “fred” som Trump forsøger sig at forhandle sig til, er starten på en verdens-uorden, jeg ikke tør forudsige konsekvenserne af 😢
@Emilio13766887@MBrgger Zelensky har takket det amerikanske folk 33 gange. Han skylder intet tal til Trump og Vance, som i øvrigt stemte imod hjælp til Ukraine tidligere
Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.
But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD
