Between Venezuela, and now Iran, China has lost two major oil and energy providers. Russia has now lost a major weapons provider for their efforts in Ukraine. No one is talking about (yet) the effects this will have on the Ukraine war. It also just proved, again, Russian and Chinese defense systems to be completely worthless. China now needs to really rethink whether they can really pull of an invasion of Taiwan with US backed opposition.
This administration is solidifying power and control (and thus security) in the western hemisphere, while the second and third order effects haven’t been fully appreciated yet across other geopolitical issues.
....... and will get no credit ........meanwhile the rest of the western world including liberal social democracies in the far east will flourish off the backs of this event ...but continue to criticize, protest, mock and jeer. I'll take that over being bombed by adversaries. Netanyahu and his far right Haredi colleagues are not without flaw and may make us uncomfortable but I question what would the fate of B'nei Yisreal be without him and the Likud party? Im not sure.... but I don't see it being more safe.

I know I know you are a pilot right? They pay you enough to hire landscaping.
