My entire life I’ve been hearing that America is done, we’re finished like the end of the Roman Empire. This past year has been the first time since maybe 1953 that America reversed its decline and we are going to keep stacking wins at a faster and faster rate.
the year we chose to lose the Korean War. Truman fired/demoted Douglas MacArthur (in 1951) after he suggested dropping nukes to win the war.
would a declining power do THIS?!"
gets in a pointless disastrous war of choice due to ego of dying senile ruler
Me too. It would really suck for Greenlanders, but it would be a super pivotal point in cracking up the alliance power of the USA. Either outcome would be basically good: either a NATO breakup, or the Europeans rolling over like pathetic lapdogs (which would be so psychologically disruptive to Europe that it would de-facto accomplish the same thing).
I hope you’re right lmao
