USA is certainly no saint, eg Banana Republics, not to mention war crimes in the middle-east.

But IMHO a world 'under' USA's insistence on openness, human-rights, democracy, (and free-flowing oil, etc, of course), is preferable to China's opaque mercantilism and spiteful sensitivity.

My point is that USA is aping those attributes.

We need to stop being dragged into a less-free world.

But the US doesn't promote openness, human rights, or democracy. It promotes its own mercantilism and spiteful sensitivity while accusing others of doing so. How many human rights do Palestinians have in USA’s greatest ally, Israel? (40% are denied citizenship) How much market openness is Tiktok seeing in US? Why is US #2 mid east ally a monarchy? These are all baldfaced lies and only uninformed Americans living in the US media bubble believe them. The people in charge of the US are hell bent on destroying those things when they come into conflict with their own power. Therefore they should have no role in enforcing any international orders.
