There is no such thing as "diplomacy" in any dealing with the US government. If anything, there is a total lack of any communication or discussion on any subject other than one where they want to instigated trading relationships and where, even on those, the attitude is nothing other than a bull on a ramage in a china shop.
It is not for no reason the concept of "US foreign policy" has been a problem the world over for decades and stems from a total lack of ability to communicate or even comprehend the party they are dealing it.
No other country in the western world has a level of foul diplomacy as the US. Sure, there are plenty good US diplomats, but they rarely stand a chance and keep getting totally fucked by their superiors. |
Agreed but that's no excuse.
In the U.S. we have something no other country in history has had, the right to change things immediately. It's not like it's a big mystery we constantly fuck things up sometimes and do things right another.
Yet we have tv, radio, newspaper, the internet and still we can't get things straight. We wait til the alligators from the swamp are up our asses before we move something.
That's the dichotomy. WE can change things when we WANT to. If America's diplomacy is fucked up there's only ONE reason and ONE reason ONLY:
We are PART of the fuck up.
We either endorsed the shit or sat on our asses and let it happen.
No way gettin' out of it. We're the only country where the citizens are better funded and armed than the entire armed forces outside of city killing machines. WE don't exercise our power because we ENDORSE it or ALLOW it and everyone in the world knows it.
Every time some naked woman was on tv Americans were up in arms, yet we sit on our asses when criminals run rampant through our culture and administrations. Gangs and Mafioso have been running this counry ragged for almost 100 fucking years but you don't see them going anywhere soon! Why? Because they're US. Plain and fucking simple. We'll bitch about sex on tv but let drugs flow with abandon. We'll argue about religion or when someone makes fun of religion but we'll let our own people send weapons to superstitious people worldwide.
We're psychotic as a culture and it's out of control.
Our problem is US.
