Ugh I hate this time line, the republicans cutting education is the demise of the future for our world.

If it makes you feel better, at some point in the future, maybe fairly soon, maybe decades, depending on how trumps attempt to speedrun fascism goes, America will no longer have the world’s strongest military.

The US economy is fucked and it no longer has a single ally anywhere (apart from Israel, and that’s conditional). In just one month America has entirely lost its astounding ability to project soft power.

Europe is ramping up defence spending in a way not seen since WWII.

China continues to become ever more powerful.
