The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

“Fascism will inevitably collapse” is the dumbest take.
Like, it took world mobilization and six years to snuff out last time, but this time it’ll just eat itself? Sure
THANK YOU. Also the German Army was weak before Hitler’s rise (hence the loss in WWI which the Nazi’s attributed to the “Stab in the Back” theory). Germany also owed significant debt for reparations in the Treaty of Versailles. And the mobilization of Eurasia, the USA and Canada is no small feat.
None of this is true here. The USA has the strongest and most expensive army in the world. The USA largely was the army of the “Free World”—I say was because it’s clear the USA is aligned closer to China and Russia. Sure, the USA is in debt; but it’s all imaginary numbers because the USA also prints the world currency.
Also: nukes. We’ve got nukes. We’ve got TONS of nukes. In WWII, Germany did not have nukes. Japan did not have nukes. Now, nukes are not nation-enders; but they are fierce deterrents, especially against democracies where leaders have to answer questions like “Why did you provoke the USA into turning my family into shadows over foreign policy?”.
[The world unifies to save the USAmericans] is a prediction so self-absorbed and far-fetched, you’d only hear it from a USAmerican. The UK, Canada, Germany; they’ve all got their own rising fascist movements to suppress—and Again, hurting your civilians over foreign politics is extremely unpopular.
