Little leftists like the OP have always underestimated what bigger and more powerful leftists like Putin and Xi are capible of. What they don't realize is that those two are aligning with each other, and they're going to do the same thing to us that Reagan did to the Soviet Union. That appears to be their plan, as far as I can tell. China is dropping the dollar, selling off their US Treasury holdings, and buying up gold like crazy. Meanwhile, Russia is bankrupting us with their war in Ukraine. How long can all this go on before the US collapses?
Trump knows they're smart. He would have stayed a step ahead of them but unfortunately, we have an idiot President who's walking right into their trap, even helping them to defeat us.
