    Do you mean within the US or trust internationally?

    The rest of the world has begrudgingly let the US dominate world commerce, culture, and morality. Now they’re realizing how much of their own identity they’ve given away, and are struggling to recover from it. Critically, even if the US ever gets their shit together again, nobody else wants to go back to the same relationship they had. We’ve been forced out of an abusive relationship, and now we’re free.

      And here I am, stuck living in the one country in the world that’s only getting closer to the US: Israel. I pray that by the end of the next decade or three, when the dust settles, we’ll be closer to Europe instead, as we’ve been in the past. But that seems practically impossible.

      Sigh maybe I’ll move to Europe. I’d probably fit in better culturally.
