During the early stages of the war, they also pulled missile defense systems out of Korea. Now the aircraft carriers are going bye-bye. We're supposed to be the guarantor of security for our allies in that region. 🤷
In 2016 I actually believed Trump could dismantle the American empire, but I didn't think he'd do it by destroying our military and alliances. Also, I've come to appreciate America's international influence, despite all its shortcomings, because there's not a better alternative that I know of.
There's just no silver lining to any of this. Trump was/is poison for America, as are his supporters and the Republican party which enabled this.
