Why is America Intentionally Destroying its Global Influence? - Paul Warburg

The United States under president Donald Trump seems to be intentionally destroying its global influence. From Greenland, to the Panama Canal, to tariffs, to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and so much more, the U.S. is backpedalling on decades of foreign policy. But why?

In this video I talk about the real foundations of American power - and prosperity - and how Donald Trump's policies are undermining those very foundations (and with them, America's future).

Trade and Military might is what helps a nation do well in the world. The US used its military might -- to protect ally nations -- as a trading tool.

And what is Trump doing? Destroying the delicate balance that helped us stay on top.

What this suggests to me, is that he will have no resort but to use force to get what we once obtained with honey.
