Not that unusual, we are just hearing more about it. My contacts in the region aren’t suggesting anything other than the normal annoyance.

Most of these nations in that region are run by despicable people. They are always up to something.

The world now respects the US.  We're no long cozying up to vicious dictators like KJU and Putin.  Biden united NATO and leads the strongest armed coalition in the history of the world.  Of course these petty countries are getting nervous.  They need Trump back in office so they can operate unencumbered or even encouraged by the Trump administration as it tries to dismantle NATO.

NATO, more or less unified than 3 years ago?  Is NATO expanded, the same, or contracted?

Does the US government still take Putin's word over its own intelligence agencies?

Have any terrorist groups been invited to camp david in the last 3 years?

Have we formally recognized any tin pot dictators by meeting with them in their country?

Have world leaders open laughed at our president in the last 3 years?

Has our president called our armed forces losers in the last 3 years as corroborated by his COS?

Sorry to destroy you so thoroughly friend.  Like a always recommend, step away from the alt right media, it will do your mental health A TON of good.

The world is not respecting us right now, and that is a key reason my company is enjoying so much success. The lack of leadership from the USA has translated into some opportunities to make money right now. Though Chinese and Russians are facing is down at the moment.

It likely won’t last long, if we get a return of someone like Trump then the opportunists are more limited. You can still make some money, just arbitrage just isn’t there

Lack of leadership?  NATO expanded and unified.  Russia weakened and NK is nothing but an afterthought.

How in the world could you possibly say there is a lack of leadership from the US?  They're the ones who negotiated the recent ceasefire and hostage exchange.

Man. 

Trump took Putin's word over his own intelligence agencies.  If you don't think that's a sign of ultimate weakness I really don't know what to say to you.  Trump was literally laughed at multiple times when giving speeches to world leaders.

I do agree, Biden is scary. He could poop himself at any given time, sending the World into a chaotic nuclear freeze.

The expansion of NATO is not some signal of leadership, and it did not result from leadership either. It was a direct result of a dearth of leadership resulting in hostile actions the terrified those nations into it.

Your interpretation of these being some measure of “good” suggests you might not understand international relations. 
 

You presume that it transpired and that’s that….no negative consequences right? Are you SURE you want to take that position?

There is so much more at play here that you seem to appreciate.

But for me it’s something of a “win” in that it creates opportunity for my company to cash in, so I am trying to do so.

The grow of NATO is a sign of instability in the same way subtle shocks precede an earthquake

Tell Yemen that you are about to get some Tomahawks up your ass. Launch said Tomahawks. Repeat if necessary in a few months.

A bunch of folks in here would prolly complain though
