Now the European Union has lost confidence in America. Germany, UK and France keeping American government at arms length. The power and influence structure gradually shifting from the West to the East as Russia and China power and influence continue to soar..ah love it

In reply to problemjay
America first is not without consequences.

In reply to problemjay

I thought these are the types of developments you were hoping for in supporting Trump for president? Now that they are happening, why are you sounding so surprise?

Empires have come...and gone.

At the end they all have one thing in common....politics and politicians began living for themselves,

more and more irrelevant to the man in the street, leading to internal fractures rifts and discords as

being aptly demonstrated in Merika.....

Regardless who is American President the power structure was going to change. This pattern of change was obvious since Obama first term in office.

In reply to problemjay

What was this pattern of change – can you give a couple examples?

Russia influence to change the direction of the war in Syria started under Obama, now Russia's influence is more in the middle east than ever before. Having form an alliance with Iran, Iraq and Syria. Putin is respected around the world, hated mostly in America. China influence in the south eastern sea increased under Obama and continue today. America can't do anything serious to North Korea that will result in change without China's help. China has economic influence in Africa and the Caribbean more than ever before. The global status of the American President has weakened globally due to having been subdued in different regions of the world. This has led to less American global influence ( a weaker America) and additionally due to the continued rise of China and Russia.

what the hell you are you talking about? I am telling you about Russia and China influence TODAY, but you are stuck on the Soviet Union and the economic state of countries that were part of the union? Are you ok?

America position in the world has weakened, China dominant in the South China sea, Russia in control in Syria and influential in the Middle East, China comic expansion through Africa and Latin America, Russian President charismatic authority and appeal bigger than the American President. I am laying out examples and you telling me about he Soviet Union?

I thought Trump was going to make America great again. Didn't that include both economically and militarily?
Have you lost faith?
Trump is in charge now (or is he?). The cookie is on his plate.
Who is feckless and weak now? The very words used by Republicans towards Obama.

Trump is the weakest leader to ever grace the White House.
Dimitri said it, Putin knows it and Lindsey Graham reiterated it on CNN.

Man I have been hearing about Russia/soviet union and china influence in Africa from Patrice Lumumba was president of the Congo – you know how long that has been? And so what? Who cares about Syria, Iraq, - of what value are they – US have expended more Treasure and blood there – its now Russia’s turn – of what value are they to anyone? You cant make blood out of stone?

I guarantee you that there are more Russian applicants for visa to the US than Vise versa --- China has built much more infrastructure in Jamaica in recent time than the US – yet there are more Jamaican trying to come to the US than going to china – how is that for influence ---- non-living things don’t care who owns them, build them or cultivate them

You trying to demonstrate significance from the insignificant -
