      Hardly, half of the world is currently considering electing just as moronic representatives.

      American here: I warned them too, but they’re too stupid to listen to reason…and facts…and science.

        Because that would require either a terrorist action or a bunch of Internationally illegal tampering with American Democracy or declaring war against the World power with the the largest standing army and deepest pockets for arsonal. The rest of the world is effectively held hostage while Americans solve their own problems.

        It’s the reason why a lot of bad people in power stay in power. There can be tariffs and sanctions and all manner or soft power deals but the rules are rules. Sovereignty and a right to run your country mostly the way you want is protected as a right and and the US used its positioning as the least devastated megapower/millitary supremacy post WWII to basically bend the world over and get a lot of acceptions to a lot of rules.

        Not our fucking job to fix the US’s stupid problem. Land of the brave clearly don’t think it’s that big a deal so they’re on their own while we work out to take care of ourselves. Unfortunately there is still inaction, yes, but the US needs to actually do something about this instead of asking why no one is helping the country that actively fucked them over for decades upon decades.
