The perception by the Global South, Russia, China, et. al. was that Xiden was incompetent(Kabul was the turning point) and the US took a huge hit in its 'fear factor' worldwide that had given most of the world pause when it came to doing stupid things. Ukraine comes to mind. Zelensky must have been on another coke high when he agreed to the US proxy war against Putin.

The latest is the Houthis. Shutting down the Suez canal? The world is laughing at Brandon.

tell me he is not the Manchurian President....I can't imagine soldiers acting like this under any previous President. We've never seen such a parade of foreign policy failures as we're seeing under Brandon.

A recent Department of Defense report on the recruitment shortfalls cited several factors, including the fact that "Generation Z, the generation born from 1997 to 2012, generally has a low trust in institutions" and "has decreasingly followed traditional life and career paths."

A flood of TikTok videos by Gen Z service members might give us further insight into why the numbers have dropped so drastically.

The videos trash life in the military and whine about the lack of sleep and the quality of the food. The Daily Mail described them as a "TikTok mutiny."

"13 soldiers died."

ISIS killed them. The Taliban killed 64 under Trump, IIRC. Somehow you always forget about them. Trump killed the visa program for our allies, too.
