It's mostly performative, and posts like this prove the point.

Meanwhile, I believe your post proves my point. Funny how perspective works, isn't it?

It feels like the last tantrum of a dying empire from our vantage point.

Sad, but ultimately irrelevant.

I see one person having a tantrum in this thread (and it's not me).

No, you were having a discussion, and now you're the one who just had a tantrum. If you're going to be personally offended when somebody says that the US looks like it is throwing a tantrum, nobody worthwhile is going to think it's worth talking to you.

Does feel like it's you though.

Yet again, you are vocalizing my exact thoughts.

Feels like the disconnect I described is real, doesn't it?

Might not be performative after all then...

"Tantrum" is a choice word.
