The US is probably the dumbest superpower the world has ever seen, not withstanding it's enormous technical superiority, they honestly don't understand that vast swathes of the world hate them, in some cases with good reason, they don't seem to comprehend that supporting Israel fatally compromises their ability to do much in the Arab world or that the world is made up of shades of grey, not the simple black and white they want to believe in.
I used to think it was just the average American that was this simple but it becomes increasingly clear even those in,power are clueless down south.
Scary really.
