I feel like in a lot of ways the US dominated world order is/was a lesser of 2+ evils… We might be about to find out what the greater ones are :/

Based on what metric, exactly? Vibes? White supremacy?

    When the Americans came to put up a base in my country, we didn't have to hide our women like when the Soviets did. They also let us travel and usually don't shoot our prime minister.

    This may come as a shock to you, but the USSR hasn't existed in a quarter century.
