Well isn’t this just lovely! The geniuses in charge have apparently mis-underestimated how the world perceives us, have apparently mid-underestimated the economic perils of getting into a pissing contest with Russia, have apparently mis-underestimated how you determine the “real world” wealth of a nation, have apparently mis-underestimated the possibility of getting into a thermonuclear exchange while pursuing said pissing contest and have apparently mis-underestimated just how quickly their insane and self destructive policies could blow up in their faces and plunge the entire world into a living nightmare! Have these morons ever heard of somber reflection? Ooops, I forgot, they have obviously mis-overestimated their IQ! So we now find ourselves in a situation that, according to someone who actually does have a functioning brain, is more perilous than the Cuban missle crisis? With apologies to Shakespeare, “what a curse is laid upon our heads”.

American foreign policy types practice these methods to win friends and influence peoples, insults, threats, economic destruction and lastly military destruction in the name of saving "democracy." Did I miss any of their techniques? How is that they repeat the mistakes of history without any adverse consequences?
