Trump is now forcing other countries to sacrifice themselves for the USA. Not only countries, but world bodies like the IMF, World Bank, WHO, UN and ICJ are being forced to do the USA's bidding to cripple China. I think countries are beginning to wake up to the realization that they are merely proxies being used to further the interest of the USA. They could see that happening with Ukraine now. Trump's peace plan is all preoccupied with gaining access to Ukraine's mineral resources, nothing more.
Ukraine had been used by the USA, with 'iron clad' promises and abandoned when the going gets tough. Ukraine is being abandoned in favor of Israel in the Middle East. As John Mearsheimer said earlier, Ukraine is not a country of strategic importance to the USA, unlike Germany or Israel. That should be a lesson for Taiwan and the Philippines not to take too seriously the 'iron clad' promises of the USA.
Japan, surprisingly, is now seemingly not following the USA line of going against China. However, that may change when pressure is applied by the USA and we have seen that happening elsewhere, like the Saudis. Japan had been used for decades by the USA against China and is needlessly suffering economic consequences. Even before Trump's second term, Japan had been selling its treasuries to prop up the falling Yen, a move that elicit a stern warning from Janet Yellen, the previous Treasury Secretary of the USA. You can be sure that Scott Bessent is also not relenting in his application of pressure points against Japan.

Someone commented that Scott Bessant seems to be almost on the point of crying in front of the cameras. Not only that, but he also seems incoherent in his speeches, appearing to be nervous and occasionally stuttering.
Despite the high reputation in his investment acumen in hedge fund management from some sources during his term with Soros Fund Management, he is also not immune to failure as well. After leaving Soros Fund Management in 2000, he started his own hedge fund that was to close down in 2005. After dabbling around, he co-founded Key Square Group in 2015, managing assets of US$5.1 billion in 2017 that eventually collapsed to just US$577 million in 2023, with institutional investors shrinking from 180 to just 20 over the same period. Does following Trump's footprint with a string of failures lead to him being sought out by Trump for the job as Treasury Secretary? Birds of a feather flocking together I suppose.
Scott Bessant is also a known gay and together with other gays in Trump's administration, it is turning into a circus of gays.
