It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

the add featured a speech that Regan gave back in the 80s.

then trump saw it got angry, and ended trade talks with Canada. again...
