The seizure of some or all Russian assets likely strengthen the Dollar, weaken the Euro, and make Europe even more subservient to the USA.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan happened in summer 2021, after Biden was safely in office. By the time the midterm elections came, the Afghan embarrassment had already been buried in a dozen other more recent issues. I also don’t believe there’s some conspiracy to break up the USA.

NATO is inherently un-American, and violates almost every geopolitical concept this country was founded on, and spits in the faces of the people who helped Americans become a world power to start with.

But the biggest problem is that Russia has no reason to negotiate with Ukraine.
