13. The World knows the USA better than USA citizens do
.
.
.

I have chatted with people from China, India and other nations.

Their impressions of the USA are not flattering - I'm being VERY polite here.

I get the impression that much of the globe will dance with glee when the US Empire falls on its face.

It appears that the only nation that the USA has fooled is its own.

USA could have been the beacon of freedom and democracy,

but the power trip of having the biggest guns ruined it.

Opportunities lost . . .

So sad . .

(sigh)
