[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Russia and Ukraine are in big trouble.
Europe is getting weaker, too.
The U.S. is coming out stronger though 
That’s all there is about the war in Ukraine [/quote]

The US is coming out weaker as well. The Houthi's are pulling off their embargo because they don't fear the US currently. US bases are getting attacked all over the region as well. The US is stretched thin around the world with a shrinking military and these conflicts are going to keep multiplying. [/quote]

Yes the US has been weakened by Republican extremism.

From a Heather Cox Richardson’s blog today

Republican extremists in Congress continue to do the bidding of former president Donald Trump (who continues to do the bidding of Russian war criminal Putin) by blocking further aid to Ukraine in its struggle to fight off Russian aggression.
They also stand in the way of a bipartisan immigration reform measure. Aid to Ukraine is broadly popular both among the American people and among lawmakers. Immigration reform, which Republicans have been hollering about but are now opposing, would take away one of Trump’s only talking points before the 2024 election.

A piece today in the Washington Post by European affairs columnist Lee Hockstadter about the difficulties of reestablishing democracy in Poland after eight years under a right-wing leader illuminates this moment in the U.S. Hockstadter’s description of the party of former Polish leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski sounds familiar: the party “jury-rigged systems, rules and institutions to its own partisan advantage, seeding its allies in the courts, prosecutors’ offices, state-owned media and central bank. Kaczynski’s administration erected an intricate legal obstacle course designed to leave the party with a stranglehold on key levers of power even if it were ousted in elections.”

Although voters in Poland last fall reelected former prime minister Donald Tusk to reestablish democracy, his ability to rebuild the democratic and judicial norms torched by his predecessor have been hamstrung by his opponents, who make up an “irreconcilable opposition” and are trying to retain control over Poland through their seizure of key levers of government.
