This is only true of somebody does something about us.
They got away with Latin America coups, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and many more, they will got away with Venezuela and Palestine. In the end who can make them stop? The world is a jungle and in the jungle the law of the strongest prevails.
The US writes the history books, runs the universities, and manages the international media networks.
The thing is, there was a (twisted, yes, but actually there) logic to what the Reich did. What the US does appears to be fairly random as they change their mind every other week, and their rants rarely, if ever, make any sense.
