I would like to say that America can go destroy itself and who cares.
But a lot of innocent people are on the line, and that makes "Letting the bad guys win and destroy themselves" a lot less cool than if the good guys could just fucking get their asses together and flat out win in the first place.
And I would LIKE to say that the bad guys winning and destroying themselves as blatantly as they currently are in the USA would be great because we could all point and laugh and let the good guys win the REST of history with every justification due to the sheer SCALE of the stupid of the bad guys in the USA and their suicidal glee.
But that's just sheer optimism. If the track record of the bad guys in international politics counted for ANYTHING the rest of history ALREADY would be enough to discredit them into the stone age and see the glorious people's future stomping them at every opportunity.
Seriously, a loss for the greater good in the USA is just that, a loss for the greater good. There is no "it doesn't matter" or "we shall benefit from it and win the bigger game". It's just a loss. So I do care.
