I would say "Cherchez la femme". Our only hope is Melania, she grew up in Yugoslavia and values tradition (she tought Baron, her son, her mother tongue, Slovene - following the proverb "The more languages you know the more you are worth"). If she manages to explain to her husband some of the proverbs, i.e. ancestral wisdom, we have encoded in our language, such as "We do not want what does not belong to us, we do not want to give up what is ours", then we are saved. If he is a stubborn egocentric guy, then there is no hope for the world. He will screw it up without knowing what went wrong. I have a feeling that he threw the lines of Greenland, Panama, Mexico aquisition in order to get advantage in negotiations with Russia. I have a feeling he is captured in his ego, I doubt he can climb out and really listen to Russians or Chinese. That's why he is so prone to being a puppet without knowing it - see the mistake he made with assassinating Suleimani. The idea was so obviously pitched to him from someone who smartly manipulated him into doing such a stupid thing!

Agree Gail!

What a bunch of whinny, spoiled rotten, self dividing and conquering, lazy, back stabbing, addicted assholes we are! It's always up to somebody else to save us!

Yup a whole new breed of AA. A pack of propagandized, pompous know-it-alls! Groomed to kill each other in a civil war that will make 1861-65 look like a well organized church picnic.

And suicide ourselves, so the hordes of immigrants from countries our military destroyed, can just walk right in and pay rent in houses the banks repossessed after lending us rapidly devaluing fiat money.

Honestly if we can't figure out who the real assholes are and stop them, we deserve the train wreck barreling down on us. No I never said this is gonna be easy!
