What I really don't like is the implication, from the libs, that if the so called "3rd world" showed better optics, that USA would play ball.

And many of the countries did try to play ball. Look where it has landed now... So much for optics.

Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence of a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.
