This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.
For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.
The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders
Yeah. I never liked our wierd leadership roll but this is totally not the way I wanted to disengage. Wanted others brought up rather than us sinking down.
they’re going to do the same things we did; expect with less success due to the lack of a military like ours.
