      It’s not impossible though. It’s like every country opened their eyes and said fuck it because Trump makes no exception in hating everyone.

      I only know the USA from movies and TV, and the USA always got a free pass because they ruled the world, they are number 1, they have the best quality of life, and a lot of other lies that we kept telling ourselves because they were the good big brother that was, until recently, relatively “smart.”

      But Trump pissed every country on earth at the same time, and it’s like we realized we were wrong since the 80s about everything that happened in and out of the USA.

      It’s good for me because we will be more self reliant without this erratic big brother. It’s very bad because Russia won’t be affected, Americans will be poorer, and China seems now to be the most “reliable” super power that can still make and sell everything. But countries getting back some of their Independence is always a nice thing. Millions will suffer though.

        Personally i see this as a good thing for everyone else than the USA. Every other country can now explore other markets, buy and sell their products to countries that actually want their products and make money from deals they did not have previously.

        The USA on the other hand, has shut the door to all markets, and lost any credibility that it may have had. Not only this, but the stability that it has lost will be tough to undo
