America has had the ability and a history of bombing North Korea that stretch back to 1950. Only now is North Korea obtaining the ability to do a tiny fraction of what the US can do to it to the US, and it is we who claim legitimate self defence rather than they?
Once upon a time the world put up with bullying because America acted out of multilateral interest and is perceived to stand for forces which in the long run will make most of the world more prosperous and less emiserated.
Not anymore.
Trump has made sure most of the see the us not as a force for collective interest prosperity but an willful infantile obstacle to it.
We still think of ourselves as the Don, but we are now the Don that no longer has the ability to offer any deals they can't refuse.
