China is pretty judicious about when, where, and why its military travels around the world, blowing stuff up and killing people.

The US? Not so much.

Spreading mayhem is a feature of a nation driven into steep decline by the Trump regime, the reflexive go-to position for people incapable of actually thinking a way through any problem. That's why the regime is murdering people in US streets, bringing it all home.

If we despise them here, imagine how it plays elsewhere.

Thanks, Republicans, you made and enable this.

By the way, I am *not* saying China is some sort of peace-love-dove operation. It most certainly is not. But what it is *not* doing is moving around the world with a booming voice and sharp elbows, aggressively hurling insults, screwing with economies, and playing Bull in a China Shop for no apparent reason other than the dementia-greed combo eating away at whatever may remain of the cult leader's brain. We are now viewed, far and wide, as an extremely dangerous, kleptocratic, out-of-control nation because we have become an extremely dangerous, kleptocratic, out-of-control nation.
