They aren’t exceptional. They’re just like Russia.
I'd argue we're a lot more like the British empire in their glory days- exporting authoritarianism, subjugation, and hate globally, for as long as it serves our material benefit.
We learned from the best 🤷♂️
We are not just like Russia.
We aren't exceptional though, you got that right. America hasn't been exceptional in decades.
Oh, it has… just not in the ways anyone would desire to be considered exceptional.
Given that Russia has a competent government and isn't on a verge of a civil war, not sure in what way America is like Russia.
You call competent a government that pulled the "special military operation" and led hundreds of thousands of its people into death for not much of anything? You must be trolling.
Typical of American exceptionalism to stand other country on the verge of existential crisis and when they react call that "for not much of anything"
