Yes, the reason I used to root for the US as a power was that they pretended to be ethical with stuff like the FCPA and the USAID. Of course those pretenses have been dropped, it's a wash really. I'm only left to hope for an end to whatever madness this is, since really, it looks like the US has lost to China and that's going to become very clear in the coming decades.
