I can't blame you anon for pretending the last 10 months aren't real but it might be more accurate to say the US HAD an unimpeachable reputation as the free world's arms dealer and providing anyone with an End User Certificate with better legacy technical support than fucking snap-on,

The Trump cabinet's fuckery with Ukraine military aid (especially the new stories about them cutting technical support for missile systems) and the schizophrenic foreign policy like telling Europe to defend themselves then having Hegseth crying about them spending money on their own MIC instead of buying US. I don't think the rot is fully set in and could be fully reversed with a firm hand but if it stays like this for another 3 years (and if whoever is president next is equally scatterbrained) then it will be highly damaging since US soft power and arms exports are based on stability, reliability and not fucking over allies/customers. Having the POTUS radically change his foreign policy every week is a ticking time bomb like a smoke break at a Russian oil depot.
