Yeah I've been saying for a while now that current policy doesn't even make sense from the standpoint of maintaining US/Western hegemony. Ukraine is a military disaster, and worse, the sanctions against Russia have utterly failed in a way that emphatically demonstrates to the rest of the world the possibility of escaping Western economic dominance. And now we have a total abandonment of any possibility of moral credibility with the continued US support for the genocide in Gaza. Things probably won't change much (if at all) in the short term, but in the medium term or so we're going to see some serious consequences for these policy decisions, and in the long term the shadow of these events will be quite long, I'd say.
It feels like this show is being run by 2nd or 3rd generation failsons who can't quite live up to the standard the shrewd masters of the universe that were running the US post-WWII set.
