America has been declining for many decades, but only recently has the rot started to become really apparent. America at this point is merely a Banana Republic masquerading as a superpower.

The downhill started about 55 years ago, under Johnson.

Our election process is an embarassment.

Yes, Trump's butthurt whining is making US democracy the joke of the world.

It was the Left that has caused all this upheaval, not Trump. They were protesting and rioting on Inauguration Day, before Trump had done a thing.

It's actually not an embarrassment. In most other nations on this planet, we would already be in the middle of a civil war. The world knows that this will eventually end in a peaceful transfer of power. They have confidence in us even if you don't.

Btw, if and when Biden is sworn in, the political right in this country will go back to their lives, they will not throw a tantrum like the left has been doing over the last four years.

Trumps withdrawal from our agreement was a mistake, didn't he claim that increased sanctions would bring Iran to it's knees. But now he is complaining about their ability to develop nuclear ability, wasn't that the purpose of the agreement.

I do believe we will go back into the agreement but it's a real mess at this point.

It would be too obvious if he thanked Allah for Biden’s win, don’t you think?

Trump's weak foreign policy has inspired Iran to rebuild all their nuclear facilities.

It’s why Netanyahu has been sucking up to Biden right now. Quid pro quo: we will legitimize your election by congratulating you and we want you to keep the sanctions going.

Netanyahu is foolish if he truly believes Biden won’t return to the old policy, but you can’t blame him for trying, I guess.
The dems did everything they could to help Iran get the cash for nukes duke. If it were up to me and i ruled the world i would have nuked or gassed all of the ME area 50+ years ago bros. Gas would be the better choice and take all the oil. We have been sticking our nose over there for 50+ years and got nothing out of it but killed many of our peeps and spent trillions for nothing. Bush 1 and his failed war in 1991 and then again with Bush 2 and his 2 failed wars should tell us to stay the heck out of that area of the world.

If them peeps wanna kill each other brothers then let em have at it.
