    As far as i see it this is a win-win. Either this gambit fails and the US comes out of this looking weaker than ever with its grip on its vassals diminished, or it succeeds and shows to the world that the US does not have allies but rather only subjects that it keeps in line through bullying. Either way a further nail the coffin of the myth of the liberal “rules based order” upon which US hegemony relies.

    At this point the geopolitical situation for the US is like quicksand. If it does nothing it continues to slowly sink, but if it struggles aggressively it only sinks faster.
