      I mean I guess I’d rather Trump didn’t win, but I can’t do anything about it. So no, I have no horse in the race.

        so long as american bombs, american soldiers, or american money touch your country; you too will be impacted by this race.

        the only way to plausibly ignore it is to be russian, chinese or western european; everyone else is the world is kowtowed to american hegemony, willing or not.

      Even if we are under US hegemony, we don’t have a horse in the race. US foreign policy is dependent on the decades of built up institutions and material forces beyond any individual’s control. There is no meaningful difference depending on who is president besides optics.

        that’s only true if you’re somehow insulated from american hegemony.

          Depends… We’re all interconnected on some level. But i don’t care anymore.
