    Your last point is sadly poignant

    I have always maintained that the civilised world dealt with the US because they had to, but held their nose

    That’s been more and more apparent since the early 2000s with Dubya

    But now, the curtain has been pulled back to show what everyone already knew

    The US is the biggest threat to the world, because of their greed and stupidity, and they are beholden to unscrupulous and cruel men from all over the world who either hold people in the US to ransom or appeal to their greed

      You are absolutely right about George Bush, the “you are either with us or against us” comment did not land well among allies.
      And starting a war on a lie obviously wasn’t popular either. Also the fact that he was elected twice was a bad sign.

      And yes USA is the biggest threat to the world currently, it seems that even China has more respect for the sovereignty of other countries and international law. USA doesn’t even respect their own laws!! And self evidently definitely not international law.
      USA is a rogue nation with a madman at the rudder.
