Goodbye to the American Century
Goodbye to the American Century

The US was able to leverage its natural resources, large population, and manufacturing capacity to help the Allies win WWII. In the vacuum created by so much of Europe dealing with rebuilding, it was able to do pretty much anything it wanted to, anywhere it wanted to. It's easy to have things your way when there's no one strong enough to say no.
Predictably, the US abused that power worldwide and mistook the lack of complaints as validation. That began to change in the 70s and the power has been decreasing ever since. Now most of the world not only doesn't want us, they no longer need us. All TFG and his toadies are doing is giving the rest of the world the opportunity to tell us to fuck off with having to say fuck off.
lol, let's check back in 12 months shall we, after Trump pulls America's "inconsequential" "not wanted" and "not needed" US military and political support for Russia's war in Ukraine (we won't even mention Taiwan right now, but same). We'll get a much better picture of how well Eastern Europe is fairing on their own without the United States. You, sir, are a clown, writing wish fulfillment with no basis in current geopolitical reality.
