Use to be that way with the US. No one messed with us because we spoke from a position of strength and unity. Our adversaries love to see us crumble from within. Our credibility is quickly shot when you betray your allies and coddle your enemies. Other world leaders only listen in order to hear what bizarre fabrications and delusions our administration can come up with next.
