Feel like if it was another country they’d be sanctions or something already.

    I don’t think you understand where US military power was coming from. It was not just the money, it was the ability to project that power easily (having bases in Europe, etc for example).

    That was the ‘soft power’ everyone was talking about. Orange mongoloid had now destroyed that and I don’t think it’s coming back any time soon.

    Everyone is basically letting idiots destroy themselves and watching their moves. There is nothing anyone else can do right now.

    Except Chinese and Russians. They are rolling on the floor laughing…

      I mean there’s that… but there’s also the fact that nobody has been stupid enough to break the seal on the Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear issue. Report after report shows trump is really really anxious to find a reason to use a nuke.
