"and our power grids are falling from 1st world to 3rd world to “survive at the sufferance others.” and russia and china playing the west like a $3 banjo."

Sorry, but in good conscience I can't blame the rest of the planet for the stupid decisions that the politicians that I didn't elect decide to radically transform our nation into a third world sh*thole.

Russia and China are simply doing what they want, as is India. The West is under the delusion that the "planet is on fire" and we must do something to save it. Other parts of the world have a different opinion, which is their right.

Maybe it's more like the old tv series Jackass. Dumb people (the West) do dumb things (climate change , green energy, etc.) while others simply stand by and film/ watch (Russia, China, etc.) I don't think they're necessarily playing us, but instead are laughing while we do something really bad and stupid. And if it can benefit them, even better.
