If the USA were to say or do something that wasn't hypocritical, anything that would support international fairness and rule of law, I would be astonished. Their supporters are either oblivious to such things or they like it that way.

For all its talk of human rights and democracy It’s very invested in the idea that the top dog calls the shots

Which is why it is prepared to go to such ostensibly insane lengths to remain top dog
