The U.S. is really good at destroying things.

I linked to the headline in an attempt to be charitable, but that is one of the worst and most senseless posts I have ever seen on that (or any) site. It’s nearly incomprehensible, and as much as I can determine what it’s attempting to say, it is odious. It’s the obverse of Ian Welsh’s goofy realpolitik, but somehow even worse.

It’s just such a wacky (but not in a good way) mishmash of hogwash and flimflam that one wonders if it’s a joke. But it apparently is not.
