Empires seem to deploy their powers to the maximum, desisting only when they no longer have the wherewithal. We may soon be reminded that it was American decline that put Mr. Trump in a position to set American foreign policy in the first place.

As I said in another thread, if these brief military excursions by Trump are weakening the United States as much as leftists and so-called rightwing pundits are insisting they have, then I will wait patiently to see what the international community is going to do about it.
You are now a 'so-called right-wing pundit' if you believe the same thing now as you did five days ago.
Once again, if Trump's actions have weakened America's position as much as you insist they have, then who is going to hold the United States accountable for it? I'm waiting to see Trump brought to justice for his crimes against international law. What are they going to do about it?
You repeated yourself rather than addressing the point.
No accountability doesn't mean anything. No one was held accountable for the Iraq War, which you claim to have opposed. By your logic, that didn't weaken America.
I'll keep repeating the point until you address it. If you're free to do whatever you want and there's nothing else anybody can do about it, how does that make you weak?
