The sooner our allies accept that America can no longer be trusted with global leadership, the better prepared they'll be for the turbulent times ahead.
Dead right. Specifically normalization of relations with China and Russia. I understand NATO/allies willingness to increase sycophancy to US under Biden (reaction to Trump45), sacrificing their economies for what was really primarily a war on Europe through Ukraine proxy vs Russia, but total sycophancy never gets rewarded.
NATO/EU establishment leadership only knows "liberal rules based order". US approved democracy, and liberal freedoms, is awesome, but it shouldn't be a basis for supremacist war on anyone you declare to be US/CIA unapproved democracies despite the massive propaganda/operations used to force US approved election results.
The most critical step for our allies here is the abandonment of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. To effectuate this, their central banks must begin to dramatically reduce their dollar holdings, shifting reserves to a basket of alternative currencies, while developing new multilateral payment systems that don't depend on American-controlled financial infrastructure.
The key here is to never let the US cripple your nation with sanctions. It is far more important to avoid US market investments, because the perspective of bullying you that "selling stuff to US is taking advantage of the US". Diversify trade through world, especially with nations that can stand up to the US.
I disagree. US allies might need to be prepared to put the US down like a rabid dog.
The rest of the world is not ready for the next fascist dictator to rise in the US. We might never be ready for it. When Hitler rose in power, Germany was defeated and weak. That's not the case in the US.
Also, despite all claims to the contrary from both sides, the US is a democracy. Our government is the government we chose, regardless of how we got there. There are plenty of bad people in the US.
I hate to say it, but US allies could ally themselves with literally every single other country on earth, and still not have the ability to put the US down like a rabid dog. We have the 5 most powerful military organizations on the planet. The best they can hope for is that we have a civil war to depose the dictator, and there isn't too much collateral damage.
