    I’m glad to see this perspective. I live in America, and I thought surely the rest of the world doesn’t see it like this. We are out, and of our own god damn volition. But that doesn’t mean Putin won. If anything, weakening America so much just means our government couldn’t possibly come to his aid in any meaningful way when the European countries inevitably have to put him in his place.

      Well, if the US is now Putin’s country, I don’t think Europe is strong enough to take on both Russia and the US (with it’s huge army that’s actually functional and has bases inside Europe). Europe is fucked.
