I know that wasn't your intention, mentioned it bcs it just sounded weird and and unfortunate choice.
" USA tearing itself apart" is the best thing that could happen to the world.
I feel sorry for the handful of non-uniparty voters that have to suffer but as a European this feels like your country is getting a taste of its own medicine.

    I'm not the OP, or an American, but yes I think a lot of the world is looking at them and feeling that they're getting their comeuppance.

    The problem is that America is truly too big to fail. Not that they can't fail, but they will drag the world down with them if they do. Global trade and global security is anchored to them, so while I want to see them slapped back to reality, I don't think we can afford for them to devolve into civil war.

    I don't agree with too big to fail.
    Yes it caused a lot of trouble already and they are dragging us (EU) down with them.
    Or better they're sacrificing us for their benefit.
    They aren't as important as they were for global trade and it is a catalyst to get rid of them sooner.
    And 'global security'?!
    That must be a joke, there is no bigger cause of destabilisation and war than that awful country.
