There is nothing wrong with bashing the US in context, freedom of speech and all that malarkey. Nobody here is criticising the patriotism. Hell, even I have a lot of love for my country. However, if they initiate or take part in wrongdoing than sorry, I will speak out about it. It doesn’t make me less loyal.
The US is not what it once was… The days are long gone for those triad countries. There is soon to be a new era. In my life time?
As an Economist I like to disagree. There is a global shift in power. 10-20 years ago the US could demand something from another nation by clicking its fingers. Now, countries like China, usually, stick up two fingers.
