While others have been justifiably mocked or ridiculed, never to this extent. Our national credibility has been profoundly harmed.
And yet, there is tent cities holding millions of fresh wanna be americans, several decades long backlogs in immigration covering citizens of every country in the world, all waiting to heat their houses and drive their cars on our roads warming the planet 10-30X more than they did - maybe beng a laughing stock is over rated. He I'm a laughing stock, and yet, my savage or GS500 or bolt doesn't seem to care. It just runs and only craps out if I forget to fill gas in it.
Seriously, I think plenty of buffoons - Australia, NZ, India, England etc etc all have buffoonery a plenty, those that don't either want to mooch off the US (NATO) or sell nuts to the US (China).
They all want a stead and open hand, a simple conduit with steady flow from our wallets to their coffers. They would claim "laughing stock" if you so much as asked them for the price a second time.
You're a laughing stock, you're a laughing stock, now let me in.
You're a laughing stock, you're a laughing stock, now gimme $$$.
You're a laughing stock, you're a laughing stock, now protect me.
Cool.
