      Exactly. It blows my mind just how narcissistic and delusional a country could be. Half the world already hated them before the Tangerine Turd took over. And for good reason.

      I mean, people hating America has no bearing on that. We were the leader of the world for a long stretch after world war 2, indisputably.

        You might remember a certain thing called the Cold War? Which was about the world divided in TWO, because most countries aligned with EITHER the USA OR the USSR? And even then there were unaligned countries.

        Now you might say: 'ugh, they don’t count, because we “won” '.

        But that is itself an admission that it wasn’t that way before you “won”.
