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.
Very much enjoyed watching our disgraced former Home Sec being awarded Dick Of The Year. Good work @archiemanners & @joshua_pieters and the @TheLastLeg team 🫶

Last year, Liam Gallagher revealed Eric refused to be paid when he appeared in his music video.
"He hired his own car, got his own hotel, brought his own food, done the fucking video and fucked off!"
"Never seen him again. That's what you call a legend."
