America Is Now a Rogue Superpower

Are we the baddies? I was in college during the start of the last middle east invasion by US. At least the bush admin lied and got Congress and allies to approve it. This admin just goes in without even a care.

The greatest achievement of American propaganda is convincing the world that a country with 11 carriers, 5000 nukes and spends more on its military than the next 10 countries combined is somehow not a threat.

Honestly, you guys are f****** terrifying right now. Just straight up doing whatever to disrupt nations and the entire world and not even hiding it anymore, and for what?! Overthrowing leaders, bombing countries, threats of annexation towards allies. What's next, nukes? This is scary.

I’ve said this before elsewhere; I’ve spent my entire life hearing how evil China is and we need to be weary of them lest we all end up speaking Chinese and I’ve spent my entire life watching f****** yankees invading other countries, bombing other countries or otherwise violently meddling in their affairs and all of it obviously (but not until now so blatantly) in aid of capitalism and the control of oil.

Superpower *for now* We're rapidly trying to dismantle that, it seems.

It is a rogue, dysfunctional nuclear armed failed state under the control of a crazed super-criminal.

You, the media, have no right to say this. The media has downplayed/normalized his behavior

The United States is basically a shitty, backwards version of the Empire from Star Wars.

The US always was a rogue superpower. Look at most of the post WW2 history. The regime changes, meddling, useless wars, bombing campaigns.

Always was but we cared about the appearances...

🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 *"Always has been."*

I don’t know why you still pretend it wasn’t always like that. America was always evil, seems like you don’t know your own history

It wasn't a rogue superpower when it was invading and plundering Iraq in 2003 or Vietnam during the Cold War or Central American countries during and even before the Cold War? Or supporting fascist dictatorships and genocides in Guatemala (200 thousand civilian deaths), Salvador (70 thousand), Nicaragua, Peru, Chile, Argentina (30 thousand), Paraguay, Indonesia (500 thousand), among others? Or threatening to nuke India in 1971 when it was going to stop Pakistan's junta (US ally) from stopping genocide in Bangladesh? Or supporting brutal dictatorships of the Persian Gulf for decades, or supporting Israeli ethnic cleansing for decades, or droning thousands of civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Or arming both sides of the Iraq-Iran war which kiled a million people, or arming Khmer Rouge in the 80s, leading to the post-genocide war that killed 200,000 Cambodians and Vietnamese? Or embargoing Cuba until today and Vietnam until 1994, or trying to blackmail and force various countries across the world to submit to the US-based global economic regime or to the US corporate interests? US has been militarist and expansionist empire for all its history - first spending a century conquering, opressing and sometimes genociding Native Americans, then spreading its military interventions to Central America, Caribbean and the Philippines, and then to the entire world. Donald Trump has done a great positive contribution to the humanity by fully unmasking that historical process and making many people inside and outside the US finally realize the predatory nature of the US foreign policy. Whatever the future brings you can't convince me not to fight for the "multipolar world" that is so dreaded by the US editorials. F*** I am from Poland, one of the most pro-American countries in the globe until recently, and even we start having enough of it. China has spent decades being cruel "only" to its own dissidents, Uighurs, Tibetans and Taiwan; it has a long way to go before it matches the US scope of destruction, and if it does then the world should fight back. But the "benevolent" US imperialism is absolutely not worth it - not even to the American citizens who pay for 800bln military complex and capitalist interests instead of a decent healthcare.

Yeah, the US have had sucky foreign policies in the past - but ever since they started drinking Trump's koolaid, it's been bottom of the barrel. Not one ounce of decency from that administration. Electing the b****** a second time is just adding insult to injury. Extra frustrating when it's obvious that the US is running itself into the ground by doing this as well. That soft power was giving them reach and influence all over the world. No nobody trusts that a deal with the US won't leave you with a dagger in the back two seconds later.

Here's the thing. It won't be a superpower for long because corruption makes things fall from the inside. The military will get more incompetent and ineffective as high position require political loyalty instead of actual competence. The same for economics as we are already seeing.

Also, the last 25 years. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/15/war-on-terror-911-deaths-afghanistan-iraq/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/15/war-on-terror-911-deaths-afghanistan-iraq/)

Now? Lol. Lmao, even.

Aw, cut them some slack. You can't expect people who can find neither Ukraine nor Iran on a map to understand and navigate the complex web of international relations. They are good at other things. Pete, for example, can do 100 push-ups and then chug down the whole beer bong in one go. That's super cool, right?

This is not new. Ever since Trump we've gotten tremendously worse than before

On the positive side, Trump has united NATO and much of the world -against the US.

Every country that's not predominantly white or a vassal like Japan considers the US the world's greatest terrorists 

Now?

Now?

Now?

Destroying the economy is the end-goal so the Epstein class can buy everything for pennies on the dollar. Then they’ll own everything. It’s a damn shame the world economy is so closely tied to the US, else it would just be karma.

I cant wait til the world places sanctions on us 🤦‍♂️

Stop the delusion. It has been a rogue power from the beginning. They stole half of their territory from Mexico. They've toppled countless governments, assassinated democratically elected chiefs of government, supported brutal dictatorships just to advance their economic interests. The only difference in international policy between Obama and Trump is that Trump doesn't overtly as a vulgar loudmouth and Obama did it behind closed doors in war rooms. The other difference is that Obama was good for the economy and Trump is aiming to bankrupt the world, not just the USA.

International law has never really applied to the US but we've usually tried to at least keep up appearances

America's power is derived from luck and like most people who benefit from luck, Americans cannot admit it. The world is dealing with the response to that cognitive dissonance.

Just now? It's been like this for decades.

Yeah thanks to 🍊💩 Pedo guy, we do war crimes now at-will.

Always has been

Given the shit the CIA and the US government has been involved in over the years, it seems to me that the US has ALWAYS been a rogue superpower, it’s just that now the “civilised” façade has slipped and the current shitshow of a government is simply a lot more blatant about it.

USA are definitely the bad guys. This war serves no one except the elite and Trump himself.

Now? Like just now? Or are we at a point where the media literally cannot pussyfoot their way around the truth anymore?

Who would have guessed that a country literally built by slavery on top of genocide, that claimed dominion over a whole f****** hemisphere, and then enforced a specific energy trade at the point of the gun would go rogue!? I wish I had been this disillusioned 23 years ago, but internalized racism and desire to prove "American ness" does weird things.

\*The United States

"Now"?

Wait. I thought everyone thought our country is hot?

The Atlantic decrying the misuse of the violence machine they helped build.

Has it ever been anything else?

Now?

You mean like the series Generation Kill.

This is not so much about foreign politics, buy more about amassing wealth and permanent power.

now?

Trump gets bored and we will all suffer the consequences. Do what you can as soon as you can, US citizens.

Don't call us that. Sounds too cool.

Don't worry. Trump's doing his best to stop that. By making sure that America is no longer a superpower.

He's rogue within the US too, look at what he did to the Whitehouse.

Don’t worry, when the economy collapses America will just be a rogue. 

I am surprised that the rest of the world doesn't refer to this country as being under occupation

Are we still a “Superpower?”

Rogue superpower...so a supervillain. Orange Lantern? Orange and powered by greed is the lore for that part of the Green Lantern mythos, so it's pretty apropos.

And no one gave a shit. I'd be surprised if the rest of the world does not treat the US like the US treats the rest of the world. We'd deserve all of it.

Epstein trials please

for how much longer?

Let’s be honest with ourselves. The US has been a rouge superpower for a long time now….

Oxymoron much

water is wet
