> i dont like but you are a child. im not being emotional. im being rational.  big part of us soft power comes from your propaganda about being a democracy, for human rights, human progress, yadda yadda. usa used to offer something to its vassals. it, at least formally, subscribed to certain values. its a story you can sell to people. you have to at least pay a lip service to these issues.  this is the geopolitical equivalent of hacking off your arm. usa as an imperial power in decay can no longer offer anything concrete. only thing you offer are pride parades and diversity courses. and now youre renegading on even the basic international norms. no one likes to do business with a rabid dog, particularly one which is stuck in a bizarre and never before seen relationship with a middle eastern cult masquerading as a real state.
