I'm pretty sure we're a joke to the rest of the world. Sure, we have nukes, but they're in the hands of corrupt easily bribed fools that are so self centered vain arrogant and high on drugs . . . they're most likely to nuke their own country than anyone else.

We're at the Babylonians cutting off the heads of Ghenis Khan's diplomats stage of our empire. Short sighted, stupid, and not able to see the big picture.
