    When you go around demanding tribute like the empires of the past, don’t be surprised when everyone denies your demands. We don’t want an American Empire just as much as we don’t want a Russian Empire.

    It’s funny how quickly Americans forget that their allies were in a war for over two decades that they were only involved in because the US was attacked. A war that was lost because of terrible leadership on the part of the US. Because securing the oil supply was more important than decisively defeating the movement that was complicit in an attack on the US.

    America is indeed a wealthy ally, but not an honourable ally. Maybe if you could stop thinking about money for a few minutes and put a little bit of priority on the blood of your allies, other countries might respect the US more.

    The US owes it’s allies a debt of honour. Honour which has been sorely lacking in the leadership from the US. Bad leadership which does correlate with which party controls the Whitehouse. You should leave foreign policy to people like Joe Biden who actually knows what he’s doing.
