Quite a few Americans who haven't properly realized that we have in fact become the baddies we used to tell tales about defeating 89 years prior.

Real shame it didn't take that long after those soldiers of WW2 died out to forget all the lessons taught.

Who's "we"? Most of us didn't vote for this administration.

Royal "we". "i" didn't vote for this, but "we" did. Or at the very least, a third of us did and another third of us didn't think it mattered enough to vote one way or the other.

It's not this administration alone, or even this decade alone. We've had many decades of sociopathic wars and CIA operations. And while I'm sure they think they're just being Machivalien and achieving some greater good for America, more often than not they are completely myopic, completely backfire, and screw over US interests on a global level. And in exchange we get to go tens of trillions of dollars into debt and lose all soft power on a global level.

If there is some parallel dimension where after WW2 we went something much closer to isolationism, perhaps with some baseline effort to balance against the USSR, the US and the world alike would be a vastly better place today. And most notably this whole issue continues on to this very day. Our foreign policy is completely self defeating.
