I am not saving these countries from criticism, and my posting record shows that. But what is at issue here, is a problem made in america in the main. Also, what you say about world centre stage is no excuse - you are claiming that world centre stage but overstretch yourself by doing so. and still you claim the role of the knight in shining armour, and that you distribute more to the world than the World gives back to you. That is simply an erratic calculation. If that hurt'S America'S ego, I cannot help it, but I stick to that. I do not see any country or block being able to afford claiming the world cnetre cposiition all by itself, andn that may be the reason why more and more scientists describe the future to be not a unipolar one, like america wants it to be, but a multipolar one. that means it will be ore dangerous, and more chaotic indeed. But it canot be helped: i simply is the most realistic assessement. If the whole world needs to imncreasingly pay for america's egoism to keep itself as the only cnetral figure of world domination installed, then this is a deal that calculates even worse than having a multipolar world and needing to compete with other global players as well, imo. The American model simply has become too expensive and too deficitary.
also, your country is in the spotlight because it wants to dominate unilaterally. You want the fame, you want the power- you have to accept the cameras as well. If you would not affect all us others so massievely, we would not care for oyu that much. logical, eh? It is our most reasonable, natural self-interest to keep you under as tight monitoring as possible. If you fail, the mess is raining down on us as well. American consequences are global consequences.
