With propaganda, election interference, and bribery.

The autocrats will become more aggressive, their plan is to be the sole global 21st century superpowers.

The US looks foolish and weak, it cannot govern with the GOP creating drama and chaos.

The US tied up with Ukraine and China.
Iran saw its opportunity, it is perfect timing.

This is going to get worse, much worse.

I have been predicting this for some time. Getting pushback, but now every one can see what
