The president is using US dominance to challenge allies and enemies alike - but both Canada and Iran have found ways to fight back.

    I don’t share your confidence of their confidence. Weakening the US economically, isolating it from allies, destroying herd immunity and public health, bringing back formerly extirpated/eradicated diseases and pests.

    The rich and powerful are not protected from this. The opposite of win-win is not win-lose, its lose lose.

      I agree that they’re not protected and I doubt they ever considered that it would turn around and bite them in the ass eventually.

      Their perspective doesn’t allow them to realize that they’re ordinary human beings too so they “know” that they’ll be fine.
