Winners & Losers Small Men Want to Destroy the World
Sam Osterhout
Sixty weeks.
In the span of only sixty weeks, the military and economic alliances that shaped the 20th century, ensured relative* peace in the world, and signaled the arrival of a superpower unlike any the world had ever seen have been, functionally, broken.
President Trump has bankrupted the country, picked fights with our friends and rewarded our enemies. He has unleashed violence across the globe and spread the mighty American military so thin that it can’t guarantee safety to ships on a span of ocean 20-odd miles wide.
Obviously, this deterioration of American power didn’t begin 60 weeks ago. The cultural, economic, and political winds have been blowing this direction for decades. Nonetheless, from the word Go on January 20, 2025, Trump and the men and women surrounding him have been on a sprint to bring this country to its knees.
Sadly, it’s working.
