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.
Another addition to my Ukrainian history series of posts. I know some prefer to watch and listen rather than read.
Here’s a great piece by Charles McBryde that is well worth your time.

BREAKING: Project 2025 HQ is being projected over Donald Trump’s building in Chicago. As much as Donald Trump wants to deny his connection to Project 2025, his record proves he can’t. Retweet so all Americans see this.
