How โthe mother of all bubblesโ will pop.
A lot of people in Europe are Big Mad that they’ve shot their economies in the foot, the face, and the ass while so far the US largely has not. It’s both sad and hilarious to watch. It’s sad because we’ll be fighting Russia for them in 2030 because they will be unable to do so, and hilarious because they’re so aggrieved by something they themselves largely caused and continue to inflict on themselves.
All that said, I don’t disagree in the main. I think that the US can’t keep dominating so much as it does now. Trump might put an end to this or might not, but it’s not a question — the US simply cannot be the entire world’s economic engine in perpetuity. And should not.
What I’m laughing about is that so many Europeans are angry about how the US didn’t make the mistakes their bloc made and hold us at fault for their failures. Like, you’re the ones who fucked up, broes and broettes. We had nothing to do with it. Own it or shut up.
