There is very little reason for most countries to ally with the United States now. They have made clear they will not (and can not) commit their forces to reopen vital chokepoints of international trade. They are only a liability, there is no protection or 'security relationship'. They are a regional power with a big economy, and a lot of nukes, everything should be ad hoc now, no entanglements.
Watching US 'global power' disintegrate in real time is so much fun
war and the world have changed. foreign bases are no longer effective. cheap plastic shit can destroy expensive military tech. it's not just the end of the american superpower moment, it's the end of the concept of a single or even multiple great powers. small countries, groups, and individuals with the will, and genius, can now take a nice chunk of flesh of the species. we live in a world of destruction and chaos. it's the age of destruction, and then comes the destruction.
the 21st century does not belong to america, or china, IT IS OF THE DESTRUCTION, IT BELONGS TO THE CHAOS
