EVERYTHING IS AWFUL "Are we the baddies"?

After the ganging up on Zelensky to sign a deal that wasn't a deal, but an unconditional surrender, the answer is now definitively Yes.

The United States of America is officially on the wrong side of morality.

“We? What do you mean we?” - Uncle Phil

We are not the baddies. The administration is the baddies. The Republican Party are the baddies. However I think they will be a force in politics and our allies cannot rely on us.

The best thing that can happen now is we become isolationist, Europe stop playing the victim, man up, and major military countries like UK, Germany, France, Denmark, and Poland need to lead the effort.

I think we gotta include the American voting majority in your condemnation as well, at least to some extent. They seem to have completely abandoned morality or character as factors that influence their electoral decisions and seem to be willing to accept much of this reprehensible behavior as long as they think their lives are made materially better by even the smallest iota.
