The US stepped off this cliff many years ago but the first part of the fall wasn't bad; good view, a cool breeze, we could pretend we were looking down at the rest of the world from a well earned or god given mountain top. It looks different with the ground rushing toward us at fatal speed, but it is way too late to step back from the edge of the cliff.
And the rest of the world is the bowl of petunias thinking "Oh, no, not again."
