>Does Trump Risk Turning America Into a Rogue State?
It’s a little bit late to be asking this question, isn’t it?

What America just did is no different than what Russia did in Ukraine.

>loosening the shackles that civilized nations place on themselves to protect our shared humanity
Did everyone already forget napalm? Agent Orange? Or “just” destroying civilian infrastructure with the explicit purpose of using civilian suffering to put pressure on the enemy’s government? Or, if we go further back, firebombing?
The wars were always horrible; we just got too used to politicians and generals hiding all that horribleness behind doublespeak like ‘collateral damage’.

We are a rogue state.
We need to mind our own business, take care of internal business, tax reform to fairly tax the billionaires who continue to hide under unrealized gains, fix the damn healthcare system, stop blowing our budgets on wars and military industrial complex, promote STEM schools and colleges, bring middle America to training for high end manufacturing and….-above all, arrest and imprison all f*ing pedophiles

Risk? Really? Don’t recognize that this has been true throughout this term after gobs of hints during his last term. Wake up!

By this logic Russia and Iran are also rogue states

“Risked.” As in, Trump “has risked” turning the US into a rogue state.

That title is like watching nuclear ICBMs flying over your head and writing an article titled “Are we at risk of a dangerous escalation?”.

If you look at all the governments the USA directly intervened in undermining, destroying, or replacing, this question may feel more apropos for the early 1960s.

If you made sense, you might actually be dangerous. Start with the last. The Allies bombed did level entire cities in order to root out the Nazis. Some of them were actually war crimes. But you equate a terrorist organization surrounds by Israeli’s with little to no regard for the civilians that suffered or the deaths they caused. They were surrounded! Not fighting their way across the world trying to defeat the allies. You think these are somehow the same? Wake up! These are not easy moralisms, these are truth and death. How many Israeli deaths were caused by Hamas in October. Does that give the right to murder, yes murder, 10’s of thousands of civilians. That is closer to wiping out your town to kill a terrorist cell than you are willing to admt.
Who suffered during those decades the Gazans were in Hamas hands? Was it Isreael? Or was it Palestine? Did they or did they not admit to wanting to starve the Palestinians? Are they not know trying to kill them off?
What about the billions of US tax dollars that went to Bibi? The ones to Hamas count but not the ones to the right-wing in Israel? He is a murderous, genocidal maniac and his cabinet is not afraid to say how much they detest those inhuman, cockroaches, the Palestinians. Not the inhuman Hamas terrorists, but the Palestinians. You wanted them to say “oh no, we don’t mean the extermination of Israel”. While they have nothing to hold on to. As if those words saved them from the Israeli edge-of-death camp that became Palestine? Would that have freed them? Would you say that? Or would they be in the same exact place they are now. Hamas became powerful because Israel gave no quarter and the people were sick of being abused by the Israelis. Plus I’m an American, not an Israeli. I don’t owe the Israeli’s anything.
There, less pithy for you.

Rogue state? A state that by willpower or power itself makes its own rules? Only if he goes too far and I believe that bar is set pretty high.

Here in Europe the US *already is* viewed with contempt as a rogue state and a lunatic threat to the international order, and this won’t change just with next election temporarily making the country sane for a few years. There is no business as usual after threatening Denmark with war and conferences with Putin. There will be no second Biden style reset “everything is back to normal”, it’s over, because Trump’s second term has convinced people the US illness is systemic, not some one time anomaly.
And I say this from Poland, which has always been among the most pro-US countries on the continent!
I’m not sure how common my own perspective is, though it’s certaintly not lonely, but personally I am not going to trust the USA as long as I won’t see some fundamental systemic changes preventing this country to be ruled by MAGA-style fascists in the future. Which is definitely going to take some time, considering how fossilized the political status quo seems to be there, so personally I am mentally ready to consider the US to be a lost cause for a decade or two.

I think it’s Trump’s revenge on all of us for the big election loss. His goal is to literally make our lives a disaster. I don’t see any other goals he is trying to reach.
Make food prices high.
Make gas prices high.
Break a good relationship with our alliances.
Make us weaker and depressed overall.
Make our enemies stronger.
Make more nations to hate us

America shoulda just minded its own business and let Iran develop their nukes in peace.. they should be allowed to help hamas or whoever they want and if they wanna give out those nukes to 3rd parties so be it.. personally idk why America has to go around bullying everyone smh.. lol
