When is the US going to realize that looking around the world and seeing these ... uh ... F-ed up places
( hate Trump but he had a descriptive term, S-hole countries )
and thinking that are are the Gods of the planet and that we can work with these countries and their corrupt rulers and pretend over the years to push democratic reforms and slap them on the wrists with sanctions whenever they backslide or do something naughty ... is either a fairy tale we tell our own people so that we can exploit their resources, or a complete delusion.
These people are not stupid, they know what the US game is and how to play it. They pretend along with us, and the media assists with passing this delusion on to the public, but they corrupt us more than we reform them, and that is pretty much all there is to it. The US has been gotten over on so many times that is all we are any more.
I think part of the problem of Americans with immigration is that it reminds us of the mess we have made of the world so that are few of our nastiest people can get enough money and power to take over our country ... but we cannot do anything about that so we just blame foreigners.
Who, or rather what American can say truthfully that our country and the world is better off with the US and the American people and government sending trillions of dollars to Saudi Arabia for oil, or to China for taking our factories, jobs, and IP? It's absurd.

When Russia supposedly invaded Ukraine one of the first things I found was a lecture from 8 years earlier by John Mearsheimer predicting this exact event. That provoked me to start investigating and recalling American behaviors about wars going back to Vietnam. I am still confused about this, unwilling to defend Russia, but also unwill to buy into our American narrative either. The US seems to have interfered in Urkaine going back to Maidan and the revolution that kicked out of office a Ukrainian President who was trying to do right by his people. The US has removed a lot of leaders in other countries from power who were trying to help their people - there is a whole list of them, and many CIA and State department insiders who have spoken about it.
I tend to see Russia-Ukraine as a disagreement about the split between Russia and Ukraine when the USSR dissolved. I think it is something the US should have stayed out of - except for one reason. That reason would be if couped Ukrainian President Yanukovych's plan to have Ukraine be neutral and an intermediary between Russia and the EU was predicted seriously to impact the US's influence and economic power in Europe.
On the other side is the desire for the US to keep pushing Russia through NATO expansion and putting pressure on it, as we do to all our seld made enemies, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Vietnam, etc. If you are not an American puppet regime you are a communist threat to the world and must be destroyed.
That's the rules of the game. So, I don't think Putin is the devil incarnate, and I do think he is looking after the best interests of Russia, and ethnic Russians in Ukraine. But on the big battlefield of global big power politics, I support the US. I just think we should be more transparent about it, and not overindulge because we have made a wreck of our own country now.
It will not be too long before Russians and Chinese have a better lifestyle that Americans if we keep this foolishness up - at least without American citizen buy-in - and compensation.

A lot of people talk about the West Bank & the Palestinians like they know something, when what they really know is the distorted propaganda they get from an entirely closed population where all news has to come from a central authority, which is run by extremist Islamists, i.e. Hamas or equivalent. If you took to the time to look into all the claims from the West Bank, there are surely outbursts and violence from the Israelis side, but the majority of the disputes are legal claims resulting from Palestinians not paying rent or respecting agreements they signed legally. Do you even know why the West Bank even exists?
Just physically it is a big bite taken out of the main body of Israel that could be workable if there was peace, but there never will be thank to the Arab states and Iran and the radical genocidal behavior of Jihadis who are raised under brainwashing and abuse. Go look up Mosab Hasan Yousef and listen to a few of his interviews ... otherwise known as the son of Hamas.
It is only now really starting to come to light how many lies Americans' views of the Middle East are based on.
Anyway, Palestinians claim they want contiguous area for a state, but they cannot manage their state which runs on massive corruption. Gaza claims it was an open air prison, then they go on to say what a paradise it was - nothing they say makes sense or tracks with the truth.
Meanwhile Israel is supposed to survive while constantly being attacked by Palestinian Arabs who behave like they are the only Arabs that exist, when 2 million Arabs live under Israeli law and system just fine.
