It’s so frustrating trying to talk to Americans about foreign policy. Most recently, we have all these stories about China stopping western warplanes from entering Chinese territory being spun as Chinese aggression. As if flying armed jets less than 100 miles off the coast of a country you threaten on a near-daily basis isn’t threatening them. No one even questions why these jets are flying so near Chinese airspace. What business does a Canadian jet have off the coast of China, other than to threaten and intimidate? I mean, the most recent one was literally on a mission to intimidate North Korea. Fucking frustrating.

    We single-handedly won WWII, and we saved the world from communism with our $tar War, and we continue to spread peace & democracy & humanitarian aid & a rules-based order with our freedom bombs and debt traps. You’re welcome; no need to thank us, you thankless shithole countries.

    That’s what people think here, and it’s exhausting.
