The rest of the world: what?

I mean, they turned it that way.

The Americans' intentional and active undermining of well-established norms, that were established for good reason, did turn so much upside down.

The rest of the world is having to clean up the mess.

@volkris been that way since I was born. Pretty much dad spent time shooting people in Malaysia because of the same

@sortius

I'd say it's a little different now as previously the US at least engaged with other countries to shift global norms, even if the shifts might have been... substantial.

Today, though, it's a complete disregard for the norms, a childish rebellion, not engagement.

At least before there was a second set of eyes on a proposal, a moderating factor even if we would have liked it to be even more moderated. Now that's gone.
