You say the USA holds the community of nations in manifest contempt, yet I
see no such contempt. I see the USA, despite its overwhelming power,
choosing diplomacy and consensus. The USA has withdrawn from some treaties,
but it was perfectly fair for them to do so. If an agreement disadvantages
you, you are entitled to void the agreement and renegotiate.

[Bl.] Whether Hermit has a hatred of America, and whether, if so, this
hatred is pathological or not, I cannot say. What I can say is that it is
equally possible, based on the evidence before us, that he is a fervent
patriot. It depends on your point of view.
When the British invaded China in the 18th Century they found maps in which
China occupied the almost whole of the document; peeping in at the corners
of these maps were tiny representations of what were characterized as
'Barbarian' nations - Britain, France and the USA. It was clear that the
Chinese world view allocated no importance to anything other than China.
Ironically, if one reads the Hermits list of broken American promises and
treaties, it is difficult to conclude that the American world-view is any
less solipsistic than the Chinese maps of yore.
It is almost risible that such a self-avowedly 'democratic' nation should
hold the community of nations in such manifest contempt. Almost.
