this's remarkably good on hegemony post trump

"Hegemony is not a birthright. It is a practice, renewed daily by choices—some grand, some mundane. The U.S. had immense resources, allies, and reservoirs of goodwill in 2016. But these assets have and are now being squandered at an extraordinarily rapid rate, definitely in part by simple malice, but even more so by neglect, confusion, and the ever-present temptation to turn inward"

What country do Britains think is the biggest threat to security... well no real surprise that everyone see's Putin's Russia as the number one international security problem...

But, in a dramatic shift in perception those seeing the USA as a threat have doubled from 36% to 72% of people quizzed for the most recent British Social Attitudes survey... and this was before the events of the last tow weeks.

Yup, more & more people see the US as a Rogue Nation.

Giving parts of Ukraine (which aren’t ours to give anyway) to russia will make the US and the world _less_ safe, not more safe.

There is no appeasing putin in any way that will make him less likely to invade more places.
