Yes. Is it a crisis and the most important issue facing the country? Probably not.

What would you say is the biggest crisis. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Steady loss of international power and prestige. Also, lack of planning regarding the effects of climate change over the next few decades.

I can’t see where the alleged prestige during President Obama’s reign did any of us a bit of good or that I’d true it can be proven or even if proven be of any value. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Why are you bringing Obama into this?

@QuixoticSoul he's got nothing else to throw at you except a bag of coffee ☕ maybe 🤔 @Jackjjacksonjr

You said the prestige was down and the Obama regime was in power from 2009 - 2017 (presumably when the prestige was higher?)


So if not then, when?
You didn’t answer my original question?

@jackjjackson It’s been steadily eroding since the Clinton era, when US was a hyper-power. Now we are starting to find ourselves in a multi-polar world. Trump, with his clumsy isolationism, is only accelerating the process. Obama wasn’t perfect, but he held the line for a bit.

The benefits of being able to define the international order aren’t necessarily especially tangible in the short term, but by the time their absence is felt, it will be too late to do anything about it. We are retreating on all fronts.

A direct example would be EU looking to neuter our Iran sanctions by remaining in the deal. That would have been unthinkable a couple of decades ago.

The EU isn’t what it used to be in many respects and i predict will disappear prior to complete implementation of the NGD. @QuixoticSoul
