Also not American, both trump and Biden are genocidal human garbage, and most of the shit coming in the states is caused by systemic forces rather than great men. However, I think the election of trump would accelerate the loss of American soft power abroad because of how deranged he makes other lib world leaders/elites.
As you've said elsewhere, Biden has been a more geopolitically ruthless president than trump was. I think the machine will be less efficient if it has to change gears to a trump presidency than if Biden gets a second term to be The Smiler.
I dont believe I'd call Biden the more competent one in foreign policy at this moment. Given that he's currently abandoning Ukraine to sponsor the most blatant genocide in recent history. In the process he's simultaneously setting US international reputation on fire and getting international trade routes blockaded.
Sure, I meant he's efficient at operating the machine because way more American bureaucrats suffered trump derangement syndrome than Biden derangement syndrome. Also, see @Kaplya@hexbear.net's posts on hexbear about him as a ruthless operator that has absolutely eaten Europe's lunch the last four years.
