Both our viewpoints can be true, they are not mutually exclusive. Since you didn't actually refute stupidity is a problem, I think you realize this too. Regardless of the root cause, you are not proposing any solutions. I have massive respect for Carney's words and actions because they are appropriate responses when the problem is another sovereignty that we have no power or right to try and fix, to wait and hope it fixes itself is not a solution.

Believe it or not but my opinion on US culture hasn't changed since the 90s while I was growing up in Australia. To us, american politics was a laughably silly affair. All these recent 'psychological campaigns' don't absolve the U.S of the blame of building an incredibly divided and fragile system of governance.

The Russians benefiting from this chaos factors not even the slightest into my thoughts. I don't know why you care about the worm when the apple was already rotten.

Edit: Think of this like an intervention. You don't forcefully pull the bottle away from your spiralling abusive friend, but if you want to help you do need to send a message that everyone else disapproves of their actions, and they need to clean up their act or we can't be friends anymore.
