You're a bit too americano-centric to be taken serious Smoothrich
If the world was "led" by almost any other country in the world, except the craziest isolationist tyrannical ones, it would have the same effect on humanity being very quick to believe and argue over whatever stupid shit that come to pass.
Which is debatedly a good thing
But certainly, USA being what it is is not an argument against freedom in the world, that I give you!
