the USA is simply insane. We are simply retarded. And the world is increasingly seeing this. The only thing you can say about the US is that we are unpredictable. which means that negotiating with us or attempting to avoid angering us is totally pointless.
that is why, for example, russia simply decided '**** it, we are invading ukraine'.
and it isnt just the USA. the UK, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and Germany are also all clearly insane, and destroying their own citizens more effectively than a genocidal invading country would, and engaged in geopolitics that simply makes zero sense.
and everyone has noticed this. I am not kidding, Other countries even occasionally comment on it. China in particular has been rather amazed at how retarded the western world has suddenly become..
Kind of playing the "madman" theory of the Nixon administration perhaps?
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
