@g0679 What is the outcome? No global trade, every country takes over their own water access and demands massive taxes and blocks access for competing countries so trade falls apart, maybe some global trade deals but that has to be limited to countries next door to each other or a group of countries that can be connected somehow by land or sea but the world without the USA is a world decoupled, a world that will go to massive wars over land and resources and trade links and access, just a fucking mess. Sure the world can do without the USA but then there is no law its everyman for himself, we have been there for hundreds of years it was only the British Empire and now the USA that holds the game together. If you think China will show up some corner of the world to protect other countries trade routes out of their good will? Fucking think again, they dont give 1 shit it's only what serves them. The USA sacrificed its own industry and ship building and everything to the benefit of the world and enjoy a period of low inflation in return but if the world kicks out the USA then it will close the door and re-industrialize in a country that has the resources, more land for agriculture than any other country and a low population to easily meet all needs for millennia so they don't need the outside world, just got to keep adding more nuclear weapons and more counter measures and be untouchable and the USA can live in isolation like fucking Kings with no debts and crazy wealth while the rest of the world is suffering famines, wars, trade collapse, end to free access of the seas and whatever else goes down. Is that a good world to live in? No. The EU will be long gone by then and war will return to Europe probably just Russia taking out anger on millions and millions of people and eating up most of Europe but would that harm the USA? No. This is why Putin was depressed that the USA countered him he expected to USA to just leave Ukraine alone because Russia taking over Ukraine is good for the USA it keeps a sword hanging over Europe which is a competitor to the USA so it helps the USA by Russia threatening Europe but he failed to see that the USA would support the democracy and freedom that people of Ukraine desire out of the Good will of Americans so the mentality in the USA to support people that want self determination is not yet gone, it will some day but not yet.
