It's funny how the acceleration of the downfall of the US (due to trump) is a gift to everyone else. It's almost as if US didn't have as postitive impact on the world as they thought.

A gift to [every dictatorial regime]. It's not a gift to the common people. The hundreds of thousands of people who got aids, and wouldn't have if not for Trumps withdrawal, didn't benefit. The women of Afghanistan didn't benefit. The countries of the EU... Canada... Korea... Taiwan... Ukraine... really just about any democracy didn't benefit.

The downfall of the US benefiting bad people is not evidence that the US didn't have a positive impact.

    I think EU is benefitting massively from US losing the capacity to hobble it while pretending to be friendly. Ukraine is doing better than ever. And how US harmed Ukrainian efforts because they were scared of their own made up boogieman they turnd russia into during cold war is well documented.

    Canda, Korea and Taiwan also benefit from US showing their true colors. Now at least they know what's real and what was fiction and can plan better for themselves.

Downfall sounds exaggerated.

US is a great and respectable country with amazing nature, people tech and military, very very far a collapsed state.

If anything to be worried of, it's the state of Europe. Closer and closer to war, full of insecurity and no innovation.

US is a great country.
