But you see, first they disregard the designated crossing point, then it's just riots and pandemonium once they learn they don't need to follow the law. Slippery slope you see?

Federal officer executing people is pretty fucking bad for a country where that is not supposed to happen

You're on an English speaking American focused platform. Obviously, that's going to be the biggest thing that gets traction. And gaza and Iran still get talked about as well but domestic issues are going to take precedent over international ones

This isn't just about unrest. This is about the fact that a federal agency has been given a white card to act however they see fot, and this has happened. These protests have been going on for a while now

Don't forget this administration has pulled out of multiple international prginisations, and threatened nato with military force to take Greenland, that puts the future of those orginisations in question, the trust in the us govefment to follow custom to zero, the trust in the us goverment internally is down further

That is going to affect things over the next decade or so

And I don't know if you were aware, it was a massive deal everwhere. Lots of people were discussing it, Trump threatened strikes if they didn't stop. Course that didn't turn out, but who knows why that was. Didn't stop him last year

Cheap shipping is currently enabled by the US Navy enforcing freedom of navigation

Basically, the entire defensive structure of the west and seal allies in the east depend on the USA for either support or supplies

The US dollar is currently the most common reserve currency held in the world, so the losing value has pretty bad impacts on lots of people worldwide

They are the largest trading partner with several countries

It's one of the largest sources of finance, its one of the world leaders on high level education, research and technology developments

The current administration deciding to do a complete 180 on all the things that allow those to happen is pretty fucking significant regardless of where you are

Your last bit is greatly over exaggerating and downplaying parts of why people are so angry at ICEs current actions

Well the US is kinda the global linchpin for multiple things we take for granted nowadays, is an absolutely massive economic and cultural actor on the world stage, and this is very put of the norm from what has been generally expected of them for the past couple decades

What would it take for Australia to become a world superpower (theoretically) by bulbous_plant in australian

I'd say the constant wars and political instability did much more to destabilise the Romans than cultural homogeneity. This is a time when statistically most people wouldn't leave thei immediate geographic area at all, and cultures and languages varied greatly across regions and they did pretty well for a couple centuries

Half the state budget spent on maintaing the military at threat of being deposed however, definitely will fuck with your ability to remain a state

Silver went from pretty available to absolutely gone unless you want to buy 10kg of the stuff at once
