I don't think there was any "only" in the OC.
But the ball certainly is still in the american peoples court.
Yeah, sure, the ball is in our court. But we're playing blindfolded against a gigantic prime Roger Federer who doesn't care if he "accidentally" steps on some of us, and half of our side actually wants to see giant Roger Federer win for some reason.
I get it, empty apologies are meaningless. But posts complaining about said apologies and telling Americans "actually no, we see you all as a single mass of shit people that made your own shit bed and we want to see you sleep in it" is similarly unhelpful.
I know a lot of young Ukrainians, who moved to my country because of this fear. I can understand the fear of death, of everything being taken away. They are the nicest people, and their decision will forever haunt them.
As if those same strategies aren’t currently active in every other country in the world. They just spent more here and had a head start on the brainwashing.
I just feel as though decade long geopolitics is a little bit different than a back and forth ball toss.
