Honestly after decades of ego and exceptionalism, this demand that other people fix issues they've caused themselves is pretty on-brand for the US

Manifested a destiny not to their liking and suddenly it is other people's responsibility.

Yea those of us that tried kind of figured our allies would use some of that fucking intelligence they have been giving our country to fuck those of us that are trying over to maybe, i don’t fucking know, tell the world how they stole the election because they admitted it right on fucking TV!

Right after they fucking declared war on us on fucking TV!

But your fucking countries are in on it, too. Just you fucking wait and see. The rich that lead you sold you out too and are just waiting to cash in on you. If you let them do it to your greatest ally, you’re fucked.

Sleep well.

Spoke like a true murican.
You're on point though, which means that because we have problems of our own, in part caused by you, we'll just let the Great US of A solve its own shit while we're busy solving ours.

Issues they caused themselves that we warned them about for decades, even

The most aggravating thing is they've polarised themselves into thinking any outside force refusing to "fix it" is being sanctimonious.

Nah fam. this is something you've built from the ground up and entrenched into your culture, so you have to fix it. Outside forces imposing will end up with another iraq. (Or afghanistan. Or libya. Or Iran. ). Hell, even Germany was headed towards burying its cat turds until niemoller & co grassrooted the idea of collective guilt to come to terms with their crimes.

It's gotta come from inside the house.

True, but it's time to tell them to fuck off.
