That is the likely scenario.

It is, after all, quite obvious that state power is not only being abused to protect these criminals, but that it is what makes the most serious crimes possible in the first place. That is simply how things are in a corrupt state—here, the legal system does not serve to enforce the law at all, but rather to facilitate crime, just as is happening in the U.S. on a daily basis. There are countless other examples: a secret police force in the form of ICE, life sentences for opponents of the regime based on fabricated terrorism charges, the embezzlement of billions by unscrupulous opportunists, and so on and so forth.

This country is done for, especially since its citizens have apparently resigned themselves to the status quo. If that weren’t the case, the regime would have been behind bars long ago—it would never even have risen to this position in the first place. The U.S. president has a criminal career stretching back decades. The fact that he was able to assume office at all—and twice, no less—says everything there is to know.

Now he’s doing exactly what was to be expected, and the citizens still aren’t holding him accountable—even now, when it’s completely obvious that their country is ruled by organized crime of the worst kind.

Unfortunately, this is a massive problem for the entire world, as the regime itself tirelessly demonstrates by blackmailing other countries and committing the most egregious war crimes alongside its genocidal counterpart in Israel.

It would be very much in the interest of all reasonably decent people if U.S. citizens would finally hold their inhumane overlords accountable, but that’s about as likely as the Russian people rising up against their dictator.

So we're all pretty much screwed, because this rogue state, armed to the teeth, can be defeated by no one other than its own citizens.
