- pm90 8y agoYou will be downvoted to hell but this is mostly true. I would argue though that it isn't necessarily malice that has driven this kind of policy on the part of Americans. Its mostly the abdication of Foreign policy to the hands of "economic experts" who were always very wrong. And the fact that foreigners don't vote for US politicians and thus there is no political price to be paid for being that way to non-Americans. Oh wait that does sound like Malice. But on the part of American representatives not necessarily the people. But I guess that distinction is kinda irrelevant.
