Aah Pax Americana [1]. It feels so warm and cosy knowing that the benevolent regime has my butt covered.

Look. I love the US (being a Mexican, I consider Mex/US relationship like a bug brother / little brother one) . But darn, it seems the pax-anericana epoch is getting weaker and weaker, and the US is just trying to cling at the last straws of influence that its left.

The unfortunate thing is, while no one's really that happy with how the US is running things, they've probably been one of the least bad empires in history. (Post-slavery) America Vs. say Britain? I know what I'd prefer

I think Uighur, Tibetan and Hong Kong people might disagree.
