Only in America can boys dream of growing up to be Woman of the Year

Perhaps boys grow up with that dream in other places too, but only in America can their dreams come true! Proving yet again that American Exceptionalism is even more exceptional than anyone dared to imagine. But that's the thing; America is so great that it can and does define its own reality. For the past 80 years or so America has dictated reality to the rest of the world too. The "rules based international order" was dictated by the USA, as were the so-called values Ukrainians are dying for in their tens of thousands. You know the ones; freedom, democracy, and human rights are the big three. You know, like the freedom, human rights and democracy Empire has bestowed on Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, just to name a few recent examples. Alas, we have entered a time of great change. A critical mass of resistance to American leadership of the global order is emerging. More and more countries are waking up to the fact that the Emperor is buck naked and the World Cop is shooting blanks. It was always absurd to believe that the mightiest military on earth, having failed to subdue the Taliban after twenty years and trillions of dollars, had any hope in hell of taking on Russia, China, and Iran, all at the same time. But such is the hubris, arrogance, and self-delusion of the Exceptionalists in Washington that they're willing to take a crack at it. For now, the Ukrainians are bearing the brunt of America's delusions, but eventually dreams will die in DC too.
