So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    Kinda like how the US, UK, and the Soviet Union were not aligned before the 1940s?

    The US and the UK were flush with anti-communists who actively courted war with the Soviet Union even in the midst of WW2. Truman pivoted into the Cold War before the Pacific Theater was secured, in no small part because he didn’t want to risk Japan being divided North/South like Europe had been divided East/West.

    If Trump thinks he can be an existential threat to a large number of countries in the world, it’s a FAFO situation.

    Trump isn’t the only perceived threat.
