My understanding of the U.S.
"We're the greatest country in the world!"
:
our leaders build and maintain power and wealth by exploiting existing imbalances with active disdain for the people who actually have to deal with the disasters generated in the process
::
"We got rich because we worked for it!"

Re: My understanding of the U.S. (cw: snark, negative)
@ElectricKeet "We're the greatest country in the world!"
Translation: "I think all other countries are inferior to this one"
Correlation: They probably take no issue with exploiting other countries, even to the point of killing foreign citizens, so long as it provides a net benefit the US
Proposed translated statement with correlative context: "Other countries exist to serve at our pleasure and we're entitled to the fruits of their labor."
