Yeah up until 2016 we were just minding our own business invading other countries for oil.

And the genius of it was that no one (other than the invaded countries) really cared because the US accumulated so much soft power, goodwill and general positive impression. Trump undid in a few months what took generations to build.

Not only did they not care, they joined us. These fucking morons have no understanding of soft power.

Well I mean, we paid them a lot so that it looked like we weren't just randomly invading Iraq for reasons no one but Cheney seemed able to concieve of.
