Inb4 “always was”
This is different and you damn well know it.
Pretty much. The new aspect is that everything the US does now is intended to benefit Trump and whoever is currently in his favor (but mostly Trump). Given how often he changes his mind, there’s no telling what’s coming next. Being the wildcard and having nuclear weapons is a dangerous combination. The world is right to worry about us.
With respect, whether it’s different for the rest of the world, that’s not for you Americans to decide, it’s for the rest of the world.
Fwiw, I actually agree that it is different.
No its not Trump is very much a continuation of the American imperial project not an aberration.
Only because the chuds in chief thought ‘soft power’ sounded to feminine.
Having spent a good deal of my career tracking malign foreign actors who undermine democracy around the world and coming up with strategies to defend against them, this was a rude reality check. I had to ask myself: “Wait, are we the bad guys?”
Yes. Next question.
If you listen to this (yeah i know, its an hour long) you’ll start to understand why AI is such a threat. If the americans give AI personhood, like it did for corporations, then AI without human intervention will be deciding your job, your health insurance claim or your pension entitlements. Furthermore the algorithms that feed on emotions like hate will drive humans into smaller and smaller tribes of like emotion. That will be the end of countries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qIfC-fsxgM
It’s been getting exponentially worse since Nixon
“most” ???
Are there really any exceptions? USA is a malign actor for USA!!Always have been
While many may be tempted to cut the U.S. off as an ally and partner
At this point I think it’s more a matter of keeping your friends close, and your enemies closer
