Everyone who hates America and wants to see it fall is loving this.

I guarantee you there are Americans who hate America that voted Republican specifically because they knew Republicans would fuck everything up and remove democracy from America completely. Everyone sane who pays attention saw this coming decades ago.

30% of Americans fall into this group according to an expert in authoritarians/dictators.

If NOTHING else, I hope the world learns about this group.

As a person that's the farthest thing from a republican, the less competency and more deficiencies for the US military the better.

ehhhh. That's one of those Monkey paw things once you understand what comes in its wake.

Which is precisely why Trump's team are gutting the military, stretching it beyond its capability, and leaving the former global order in shambles. And what comes next is not going to be better. Not by a long shot.

The war with iran proved the US military is a paper tiger. The world is a better place without an effective US military.

This is just more graft and waste, and they're doing stuff like this because the ruling class is stripping the copper out of the walls of every insitution. You can't do effective nefarious shit without some semblance of competency.

The world is a better place without an effective US military.

This is such a foolish sentiment. Russia invading Ukraine is what happens when the US military reach is weakened.

There are numerous valid criticisms of the MIC but to pretend the post-America world order will be better or more stable is just absurd.

So you're just admitting that you're a American imperialist degenerate?

The US has caused upwards of 50 million deaths since WW2 through sanctions and wars. They've destroyed countless countries. No other country in history has had a destructive impact that reached wider and further than America. The closest second would be America's daddy, the British empire.

After Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Iran, etc. you think "but Ukraine!" is a valid justification for supporting the US military?

Unless you believe that Ukrainians have a special quality that makes them more important than the ones of millions of brown people who have been killed because of American imperialism? What might that quality be? Do they have a certain "lightness" about them that makes their lives more valuable?

Absolute degenerate take.

100%. The US government and military have caused upwards of 50 million deaths since WW2 through sanctions and wars.

ANYTHING that weakens the US military and thwarts its capacity to carry out aggression across every corner of the world is a good thing.
