We tend to look at the USA as similar to our states. Some minor differences, but basically not a significant. I've lived in three states and spent a fair bit of time in another. Once you settle in folks are pretty much the same.
Apart from a common language the USA is more like the countries of Europe in the differences across the nation.

Maybe it's time to break up the USA in much the same way the USSR was unilaterally disassembled, while you are at it probably do the EU as well!

In the USA, democracy is a tool used to control the masses. No matter who they vote for, the same gun lobbyists and arms dealers rule the nation. War is extremely profitable for the USA. They are as much an arms dealer universally and reserve the best weapons for themselves.

Check out old rocker and gun nut Ted Nugent who is a fine example of why the USA is a mad house, its Ted vs Piers Morgan on his talk show.

Reading about the train wreck that is Liz Cambage, what a waste, yet from what I read it seems she has been on this path since her late teens, when she began literally and figuratively looking down on people.
The media I think are quite wrong labelling her racist, perhaps that is a reaction to being dismissed and disrespected by her, because if what I've read is accurate she is equally bigoted towards pretty much everybody outside of her immediate family. In Liz's world it seems you either for her or against her with nothing in-between, and this drives her into conflict we team-mates on a clockwork schedule.
Some of the stuff Tayla Harris says and does reminds me a little of Liz Cambage, and vice versa, it also reminds me a bit of Dangerfield who probably only gets away with what he says and does because he backs it up with performance and as such the sins are forgiven, like Carey and Hird before him.
They all seem to have one thing in common, a mirror!

Agree. I believe that the US presents the greatest threat to humanity via war on the globe today. I'm very nervous as to what may happen if the West under US leadership is humiliated in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe.
