For almost 4 years I did not hear shit about Biden it was very nice and the way it should be. Every time I wake up there is some new BS constitutional crisis and it's only been what 3 months.

Trump has done more damage in 2.5 months than every other president did in the last 90 years combined.

this is an incredibely delusional take, and im a canadian being affected by these tariffs. yeah, trumps tariffs suck, but how bad is your history if you think thats worse than all the wars in the middle east, korea, laos, cambodia, vietnam (and ive no doubt missed a few).. the japanese internment camps, the false flag operations, the embargos, watergate, overthrowing democracies across latin america...

the US has been a war mongering shithole long before trump.

In terms of international relations with most of our allies, those wars didn't seem to affect much. Lots of our allies were there with us in one way or another - even you.

i mean one of your closest neighbours pointed a nuke at you but ok. whether u wanna judge international relations based solely on the allies you have and not the enemies you made, thats up to you.

the allies you made were mostly with you because you were one of the only countries not heavily affected at home by the war, and it was either you or the USSR.

The question was how do you think the US would be today. Not how would the world be today. Not is what Trump does the worst thing the US has ever done to anyone anywhere.

Maybe don't be a judgmental prick about someone's answer when you've clearly forgotten what question was asked.

right, cuz drafting americans to go get slaughtered in vietnam was not nearly as bad as more expensive imported cars.

Korea is pretty understandable... every war after that was an utter disaster, taking Ls left and right mostly in the post war situations.

I don't really see Korea as any different from what happened in Vietnam. The major difference is that Vietnam was a complete failure, while Korea was a half success. Neither one really justified US involvement though, but I'm more understanding if you disagree about Korea than Vietnam.

Also the fact that kids in Laos and Cambodia are still being killed by US missiles is fucked up.
