Yeah, well this is RW Economics - and the dumbed-down-for-Fox-Nation-economic-semiliterates version, at that. “Our will and our interests” are the only thing that matters in international relationships, and anything that doesn’t positively favor the US in every aspect is a Bad Thing, and completely the fault of Bad People [insert litany of The Usual RW Punching Bags]…

Yay! Another Meaningless Milestone! 20,000 karma! And in only 7-1/2 years!
