Over and over again you see the USA do whatever the hell they want.
They want everyone else to follow their rules but won't follow rules themselves.

WTO says the USA online poker ban is illegal = they do it anyway, even though its illegal.

USA argues at the UN for invasion of Iraq is rejected = they do it anyway even though the war is illegal.

The USA government put tarriffs (taxes) on incoming Canadian softwood lumber, collecting billions in taxes which the WTO deem illegal. The US government did it to subsidize the US lumber industry and hasn't paid back the taxes. This is despite the free trade agreement.

Citing "mad cow disease" the US government closes the US-Canadian border to Canadian beef imports and the ban continues even after the issue is resolved and even after MANY more cases of mad cow disease are found in USA beef. The ban continues to help the US livestock industry.


= the USA does whatever the fuck they want as long as it benefits them. If anything ever comes up that hurts them, they cry bloody murder.
