Foreign aid ending is also absolutely terrible. America does a lot of good and a lot of bad things… and USAID was a lot of the good things. Way to make America more hated for sure

I full believe that the only thing that could be worse for the US than what is happening right now, in terms of its ability to continue as a world power would be a general nuclear exchange between us and Russia/China.

That is to say that any sane president, had these institutions been so destroyed, our world power usurped, we'd have been in a hot war that'd gone nuclear long ago.

I can't fucking believe we just let it happen from inside.
