This SS embarrassment is only the beginning. The USA will look foolish and out of touch on the issue s of the Drug War and Immigration both of which will be addressed at this summit.
The USA doesn't recognize how much it's prestige and influence has waned in the last decade. This summit is sure to demonstrate those facts yet again.
