As an American, fuck us. Trump is just a symptom of the disease, if we get rid of him and "go back to normal" then the world should expect someone like him to appear again, for all the same reasons.
I don't like the framing of this because it makes it sounds like we're somehow the leaders on this when we're putting out 285% the per capita carbon emissions compared to the global average. It's the same for the other stuff.
We have no grounds to ask anybody for anything until we get our shit together. And that means, at minimum, dealing with the far right and removing the influence of money on politics. We do not need anybody's help projecting the influence of our diseased system globally.
Frankly, the fact that Trump has managed to convince the world not to support us in Iran the way they supported us in Iraq and Afghanistan is not an entirely bad thing, because we don't need to be fucking around in any of those places and we don't need anybody enabling us. Please don't ever bail us out of anything we get into because of our stupid, evil military adventurism. We need to start feeling the consequences of our actions, or we'll never learn.
100% agree, Americans are not blameless in this at all and they need to realize that. Respectfully, we'll take your country seriously after you reform your democracy into something more robust and stable.
That's probably discounting what it took to produce all the tsatskes in the first place, since the US pays China to eat that statistic.
