This kind of move is too high IQ for Indian politicians. Not sure what India got out of the west for the past four years.

"Australia has split with the US and voted with 156 other countries at the UN to demand the end of Israel’s “unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible”.
The vote marks Australia’s return to the position for the first time in more than two decades.
The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, said the Albanese government’s departure from the position of recent Australian governments had “sold out” the Jewish community for Greens votes in western Sydney and the city’s progressive inner west suburbs.[...]"

That is a stupid assertion. Old US was an oppressive empire that ruthlessly grew its power and had a cohesive society, through authoritarian methods. The 'liberal democratic' mode is its retirement mode, it was never the long term solution, much less what brought US to power.
"Crunch time in France as lawmakers look set to oust Barnier's government
-Debate starts at 1500 GMT, outcome around 1900 GMT
-Far right and left say they will vote the government down
-Uncertainty hitting French financial markets
French lawmakers are all but certain to oust the government with a no-confidence motion on Wednesday, plunging the euro zone's second-biggest economic power deeper into political turmoil.

The Russians are not stupid, but they will always give the diplomatic answer. Lavrov is the master of this. Tucker will try to press Lavrov into choosing the American side, but Lavrov will give him a polite no. If Russia wants to play the pretend game, Trump is gonna ask for more. Eventually, Trump is gonna demand Russia impose sanctions and other restrictions on China the same way the Democrats demanded China do the same on Russia. Russia won't comply with this, and then this Trump "reset" is gonna go sour again.

By scale of economic influence 1950 was peak US. It has 50% world's manufactury. It had nuclear monopoly. It had a massive air force and navy that unquestionably can take on the world combined. If 1950 was a economic majority, 1990 is only a plurality.
By 1990 US had declined to a fraction its peak, but appeared to be stronger due to Soviet collapse. Otherwise no one on their right mind would say US was at peak. At best you say combined US bloc was at peak, not US itself.
Well yeah, when you make further cuts into the army's already bad food budget so that soldiers are eating like this:
Are you that surprised they do a half assed job when you call on them?
