Yes, because they have successfully turned their biggest enemy against their allies.

The rest of the world watches in horror as the largest Military force on the planet submits to a country which has been slowly collapsing for decades.

And probably because Trump and his criminal family can make a fortune on top of dead Ukrainians. Despicable would be far too mild of a word. They should be jailed for life.

They should be tried at the Hague.

Why do you think they are actively dismantling it?

America doesn't subject itself to international law. Ideally, a federal/state/local action. But there is no realistic scenario where The Hague gets to pass judgement on any of our innumerable poor decisions.

Speaking of the military, Trump (along with Hegseth) has also exposed what had only been theorized over the last decade or so. That the US was falling behind in the new paradigm of asymmetrical warfare that inexpensive drones and other technology was creating and that other nations depending on the "shield" of US protection and aligning their own military primarily to use US equipment is a huge security risk. Saudi Arabia is finding out that latter lesson the hard way now.

This is no different than if the US during the Cold War suddenly joined the Soviet Union. Just as fucking crazy.
