Before Americans cheer on any more very expensive taxpayer-funded bombings, most of us need a little history lesson and a peek into the mirror before we keep pointing fingers at all the 'bad guys' in the world. In fact, we should realize that a large majority of people around the world view us as the bad guys.

US Has Killed More Than 20 Million People in 37 “Victim Nations” Since World War II.

Including about 3 million Koreans in the 1950's.

Guess I killed another thread. Pointing out the facts and stuff usually does it.

Obviously no Trump nor anyone can turn the general pace of Hustory back. America will not be great again, you see the chart, the trend is decades long and will not change for quite long, for decades for sure. As well Trump cannot and should not be solely blamed for future misery and failures of the US foreign policy (and in domestic affairs too). During his campaign he correctly emphasises domestic affairs as the most important ones since it is domestic decline which make the US fail abroad.
But Democrats with their Russiagate forced Trump to address foreign affairs first - all US presidents use mini victorous wars to improve their image at home.
The problem is this is hardly to solve his and general US problems at home, as well there's good chance for making everything even worse. Even if he suddenly succeeds and Korea postpones nuclear tests - then what? :)
Anyway, Democrats think they set up Trump, but they as well may bury the US. Trump also does everything to destabilize everything.
Isn't it great? :)
It takes more than a GDP line to make a country great and the US has been and will remain a "great" country. But looking at that GDP line, the US (pop 319 million) is still above China (pop 1.4 billion).

yes, but GDP per capita matters very little in World politics and wars.
Besides, US GDP grouth is approximately equial to population grouth, i.e. the US is stagnating even if it formally grows for ~2%. I mean even GDP per capita will decline.
The US is a unique project wich may not last longer than the state of the USA. Nations, ethnic groups keep living even if the state collapses due to a reason or another. But if the US faces economic collapse and desintegration of governance, as for example Russia did in 1917 or in smaller extent in 1991- ethnic tensions will tear the US apart, and it will be more painful due to population being mixed geographically, but separated locally.
So, I would not be sure the US will remain at all, not just being a great country..
US is already smaller than China if compared by purchasing power rather than in nominal figures. And the gap will keep growing bigger and bigger, making the US and China war just a matter of time if the US does not give up peacefully, and the US will lose this war, because China will keep growing and storing military might and in some time will obviously prevail. And political defeat will immediately be converted into economic defeat, lost ability to issue debt with zero%, open market for Chineze goods, restrictions on activity of US companues abroad, more expensive resourses etc. - all this will lead to big drop in level of life -> riots and revolution -> desintegration. You may say it's too an optimistic scenario but I think it has good chances to come true. I hope to live long enough to see it myself.
What Trump (Obama too) does is an agony, multiplying enemies will result in faster defeat.
Goood morning GULAG!!!
