In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    You don’t understand? For a large part of the world it really makes no difference if it’s D or R ordering invasions, regime change, cripling sanctions, drone strikes etc…

    Imperialist wars to steal resources, unconditional support for israeli genocide, tax cuts and bail outs for the rich, less regulations for banks, oligarchs and multinationals. Those things are understood to be a bipartisan concensus since forever. Seen that the vast majority of Americans also vote for this since forever I really don’t care.

      It does make a difference though? I’m not saying the US is a good nation, but with all it’s wrongs, Democrat leaders have had policies involving foreign aid (USAID, Ukraine, etc.) every year. If you look at just 2023, the US has spent almost $71.9 billion in foreign aid. All of that has been cut by Trump and DOGE for tax cuts on the rich.
