Like the end of a globe-spanning empire that sponsors and perpetrates horrible fascist violence and genocide. Like the end of sanctions/blockades on places like Cuba and the DPRK. Honestly just those make it seem pretty good in the very big picture.
I don't think wishing for it makes anything good happen though. I feel pretty bad about the immediate localized consequences myself
Hell, it'd be better even for the imperial core and US vassals (who don't deserve the benefit). The likes of Europe and the UK could eliminate US interference in their elections, rebuild some of their specialised manufacturing base, not get dragged into every murderous boondoggle of a war and spend their military budgets on actual defense instead of vanity hardware to line the pockets of US military contractors.
Europeans absolutely deserve it. Signed, a Euroid
Maybe I phrased it awkwardly. I mean the Europe doesn't deserve the benefits of American decline. I wasn't expressing sympathy.
lol, my bad. We’re in agreement on that point (and complete disagreement that Europe has anything good coming for it anyway)
No worries comrade. On second read it wasn't too clear so I edited.
