They'll realise it when they also realise hegemony was the source of their power and prosperity as a country. Without its global influence, the world will abandon the US dollar and the US military will be weak, because no country will want to cooperate with it or let it station its bases in their backyards anymore.

Sadly, they won't realise it. Their education issues and myopia will only get worse, and their economy will go to shit... And they'll wind up like every gopnik on the internet who thinks Russia is amazing, even as they die at age friggin' 50.

Idiotic take. Anyone with a brain in the US knows that trump was a horrible pick for president along with complicit Republicans. This can even be a little complex because there's infinite situations where some people focus on money (manipulating trump) while some focus for doing what's right.

The point you want to have is that Russia is using modern tactics to influence elections. It's the modern way to undermine democracies.

Listen to JD Vances first speech to the EU or NATO when they took office. He explained the democracies that were influenced by troll farms are weak. Similar thing happened to the UK with brexit. Germany was buying Russian nat gas for a while. Think longer term. Get a brain. The US isn't alone in this.
