    I’ve perceived that things have never been better for American international order than under Trump/Biden.

    The last few cycles have been a weird time for NATO, as the escalating Russian aggression revitalised the alliance, but the unreliability of Trump vastly diminished the status of the US. Europe is now actively trying to get out of the military subordinate role.

      The alliance may have been revitalized, but have the member countries been revitalized? You must have your nose buried in stock market-based numbers rather than quality of life, true consumer price inflation, housing costs, and personal debts. The western world has greatly burdened itself in the hopes of bringing down the Russian standard of living, and it sure isn’t conclusive that is working, and it’s undeniable it has failed to achieve the political goals NATO countries shot for, especially weakening the great necromancer Putler himself.
