'Suspension of habeus corpus' (ie unlawful detainment) seems to underline USA's global reach somewhat. Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) still exists, does it not. I know Biden has sought to empty it.
For the last several decades (my lifetime) it's always seemed that no matter where in the World you might be, if the country is not an enemy of USA, there's a chance you [I mean, a person, not me specifically] could be whisked away to perpetual imprisonment in USA, for something perhaps as trivial as copyright infringement and the local government would just kinda shrug.
Perhaps it's closer to failure to follow due process, rather than habeus corpus.
Maybe that's not a balanced view of USA's projection of soft power. It mirrors the fear some in USA have of rogue cops.
Does it feel to you like the World, or just USA, had improved here? Tribalism seems as strong as ever.
