Militarily, absolutely. Absolutely no one misunderstands this.
It would destroy the US on the worldwide stage, and even internally. Not to mention it absolutely annihilates the American delusion that you're the "good guys". Right now the US is a staggering idiocracy, and is absolutely the most dangerous rogue nation on the planet.
And how utterly pathetic. When the "join us, please, we're so great" fell absolutely flat -- the 51st state nonsense, which is spectacularly unpopular in Canada (in fact, it's significantly more likely for an American to want their state to join Canada than for the reverse) -- now every gun-fellating uneducated American MAGA blowhard sits in their basement and fantasizes how, much like their halfwit rapist leader, they're just going to force it on Canada. Good god, what an absolute collapse to worldwide pariah.
And do Americans realize how close your country is to absolute fracture?
Dude, that isn't sustainable. That is an absolute powder keg where rural, low-density shithole states full of angry, poorly educated alcoholic clowns keep lording over urban, educated Americans. That it has been endured this long is an absolute mystery.
The coming decade is going to see the worst nuclear proliferation in history -- courtesy of the spectacularly stupid Trump and his MAGA misfit clowns -- and the end result is going to be some mushroom clouds in American cities. And sadly it won't be the rural garbage states like Oklahoma, it'll be American cities that never wanted any part of this idiocracy.

At some point, the mystery to me feels how are american people so tolerant of so many bad decisions which are net negative (like really bad) long term as well too.
Could such tolerance be provided to perhaps have some short term losses/accomodations to better suit the economy and people's lifestyle to enrich it long term?
Where was the tolerance for those sectors?
Things didn't have to go down this way for America until literally quite recently. America and heck, even the rest of world have their own problems but it feels like stacking one problem after another as to what america is doing and America was given good cards. America was the global superpower and nothing else really came close and it could've cozied up to Europe,Australia,India, Japan, SK and african countries to battle chinese influence but what it has done is actually backstab these very nations that they are more opening up to china.
I'm not "the left". I'm some guy whose politics lean centrist to even conservative at times (particularly on crime and immigration). If you need to pop off and justify being trash by pointing to one comment and vilifying an entire political lean, well that's just intellectual garbage. You realize it convinces no one, right?
Further, what irony. The MAGA movement, empowered by angry, uneducated rural America, only has hate as their concern. They are willing to tear everything down if it serves the goal of getting even at those uppity libs. Absolutely nothing Trump and his crew of plastic-faced, incompetent criminal clowns does anything to improve the lives for shithole states like Oklahoma (50th out of 50 on education, but their head of education spent his time attacking NY and California and buying Trump bibles...good god, what a pathetic idiocracy), but he causes pain for "the cities" so that's good enough for them.
When a country has that sort of voting, it's time to move on. The US should have fractured years ago -- Texas has openly talked secession repeatedly, but the moment a "blue state" does the whole indivisible thing becomes paramount.
No one has believed the US are "good guys", probably ever. 9/11 was met with many celebrations across the 3rd world.
America's power has never been greater. In the 60s we had low level paramilitary street insurgencies. American politics are deliberately designed to be un-actionable by the public and opinion is irrelevant.
European countries and their governments are satrapies that we allow a limited independence to. If they try to step too far out of line they will find their government collapses. We did this to Australia at Pine Gap in the 70s and have a whole word for it "color revolution"
