given enough time I'll eventually get banned from here too, just like with every other political discord I've ever been in

<:cringe:630844921481527296>

I hope that doesn't happen, but that's the pattern

No law in this channel. Only anarchy

I got banned from an ancap discord for asking a question

Ancap?

Anarcho Capitalism

Oh.

Questions are the most destructive weapons known to man.

Aren't they?

And I have all the answers. They may not be right but what you going to do <:trumpwitchlul:624684793422020624>

<:pepehandsup:678001899051679754>

now I will ask you guys a question

will Trump preserve America's status as the world's sole superpower

define "superpower"

^

the same way it's been defined in the context of geopolitics throughout history, a power that is capable of exerting force economically and militarily on a global scale

former powers include the British Empire and the Soviet Union

In general, I believe he'll keep America on top in spite of the demoncraps efforts to thwart him at every turn like an obnoxious thorn in his side.

in that case, we weren't the only superpower when Trump took office

who was the other superpower @OSCIM?

Russia China India Pakistan Iran Brazil Mexico Canada UK Europe Israel Iraq pretty much anybody tbh by that definition

> a power that is capable of exerting force economically and militarily on a global scale

most of the countries listed never had those abilities

even Chinese virus fits that definition

Sounds a lot like what a monarchy would do.

America's job isn't to play world police.

okay take Iraq for example, military check, ruins economies globally check

if you consider Iraq a superpower then you must have very low standards

I mean, the definitionyou put forth is super broad

you mean like a country capable of conquering the whole world if it wanted to?

to an extent yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower

We probably could.

so could russia and china and everybody else with nukes

Thanks to M.A.D.

> so could russia and china and everybody else with nukes

not quite

Mutually Assured Destruction

it's a bit more complex than just saying MAD

Someone say UK? My time to shine

In what way?
