Interesting how bad is the USA image after 2003 invasion of Irak. The West supported USA after 9/11, people felt really sorry for what happened. It felt like a betrayal when all that good will was used to steal oil at the cost of destabilizing the region, killing hundreds of thousands and delaying green energy sources. There is a limit on what propaganda can fix.

Russia seems to play the game differently. They just want to cause chaos, maybe because they are playing defense. China is also growing influence and propaganda in the West, and if the USA does not fit it's internal problems it can become the next world power in the minds of most people.

Interesting read. It feels part of a past that is not coming back.
