I disagree with the author that this a "brand-new" stereotype. America has always been described as aggressive, militaristic and heavy handed in international affairs, in my anecdotal experience as a European.
Surely, most people (regardless of nationality) realize that the "alt reality" is simply an narrative offered to cynically accomplish an objective. You can't instruct your proxies to avoid asking the question "did Russia invade Ukraine" without understanding Russia invaded Ukraine.
Why is it that articles like this one, describing what all non-Americans think (and proposing that they all think alike), seem to always be written by Americans?
What’s really happening is that countries are seeing the real America. The America that the global south knows all too well.<p>This isn’t new. If you’re ashamed of how this country is behaving now, and you weren’t before, you’re part of the problem TBH.
This article appear to be a bit childish.<p>The whole issue is that the President of the Ukraine choose to argue in an event that was just ceremonial to an agreement that he agreed to. It was NOT supposed to be a discussion or negotiations. The POTUS and vice president were pissed because the Ukraine president tired to put them in a difficult situation when the media was involved, particularly when he has came in the guise of already having agreed to sign the agreement.<p>That is literally what the vice president said he said the Ukraine president was being "deeply disrespectful", and know what, I agree.<p>Not an American by the way.
