It saddens me to see how so many years of collaboration wasted on this. We were at peace, we worked together. What is this even for? Can't the US just focus on its existing problems instead of creating new ones?
That is exactly what it's for. Starting new problems distracts from the old problems at home.
Always something new, never a moment to catch your breath and focus. Eventually, people will get tired, will stop paying as much attention, and hopefully forget about those older scandals.
