The US is a perfect example of an abusive relationship where the abuser is really good at using emotions against the abused. Very good at love bombing and using the "this time I have changed" line and repeating the whole thing. While also somehow being seen as some kind of "respectable wealthy person" that makes big donations to "great causes" (of course is also a large part of why those causes are even needed). Eventually enough nations will be abused and will form groups to share their stories and support. And maybe even no one will want to "date" them, which will of course lead to the US claiming to be a "victim of cancellation" or whatever. But since the US and its victims are nations and not just individuals, shit is much worse and completely fucks/ruins/ends many more million people the longer it goes.
It's all that but also there are no cops, and the US can either "protect" you from others or it can destroy you and no one will lift a finger to help out of fear of retaliation.
Again and again, "it may be dangerous to be the US's enemy, but to be the US's ally is fatal".
And yet people just keep falling in the same trap.
