I don't think it's really that complicated. You're right - if any other country pulled this stunt, everyone would be up in arms which is one of the reasons they don't do that. But USA? Bases all over the world, chokehold on the world's financial system, most pervasive propaganda apparatus in history. So nobody barks. Everyone bows their heads and pretends not to see they're being robbed blind. Does that sound like a mafia? Because that's what it is. Wiseguys strolling into shops and homes, taking what they want. And if you so much as raise your voice? Your house inexplicably gets burned down. And everyone will tut and say "Well you should've known better, that's the rules of the neighborhood. It is what it is"

The mafia analogy is probably the best I’ve seen to describe the current state of the world. It’s just learned helplessness.
