The United States lost a very big chunk of its international weight since Trump came in 2016. Since then, the White House lost its dignity worldwide, and became a hired servant for whoever pays more to Trump.
Take the Kashoggi case as your first example. Trump ordered The White House with all its employees defend a criminal -MBS- and dodge exposing the truth that the CIA knew from day one that MBS is the killer. That defense of course was because Trump was bribed by MBS.
Earlier, he obviously did the same with Russia. But this time he was the briber, and Trump Tower Moscow is the payment he made to Putin.
It's the first time in history -according to my knowledge- that America turns from a country of "Institutions" to a country ruled by a "single man". In 2 years America fell to the level of a third world country ruled by a dictator.
That's what I meant. The "White House" turned into a small, criminal organization ruled by a dictator who takes bribes and give bribes, defending people like MBS who cut people to pieces in embassies,adjusting the whole power of a superpower to serve his ego and satisfy his mad inflation.
That's the biggest fall I ever saw in my life. The quickest, too.
What are you getting at Atlass?
The reason that asshole is in office is that most people who voted for him didn't live in New York State or or New York City for that matter. NYC had known he was an asshole con artist since the 1970s, but because his father left him with deep pockets he could afford just enough lawyers in that time to avoid convictions.
Really not that different than Americans here not knowing what you tell us every day about your fucked up rulers. We don't live there.
Dude seriously, I would LOVE nothing more than for Mueller to slap the handcuffs on that fucker, as much as you want the Saudi Prince/ Saudi family in general to get booted. Unfortunately for both you and I neither of us are Presidents or kings or princes. But your powers and my powers do have control of nukes, and Our allies and Saudi Arabia's allies also have nukes.
I don't want you dead, and I don't think you want me dead, and I wish it were as simple as your powers and my powers listening to us, and not our respective fear mongers.
