CTLawyer, while this is funny, you are – pardon me – wrong here.
Previous administration was much more polite – they apologized for all the bad stuff America did to the world. They did not even ask anyone for pardon, they mostly excused themselves. As Mr Biden said recently: they could not do prison reform because – o, horror – there were Republicans in the Senate (by the time they got to it, as they could not do two things at the same time). And nothing can be done with Assad or ISIS because … and we pivot to China but they ignore us … and we could help Ukrainians but Russians …
It looks like the biggest lesson from this administration is that things can be done. For example, reports of possible Biden’s China policy – continue Trump’s policy but in a nicer way.
