USSA? Union of Soviet Successful America :)

Yep, we can't blame gravity but we can blame Big Macs, Kardashian butt surgeries, corn syrup, real estate speculators, Coca Cola, CEO bonuses, sugar breakfasts, stock buy backs, mass shootings, arms dealing, exceptionalism...

USSA because with operation paperclip they took 1600 top nazi scientists after WW II to form NASA and CIA, so the SS points at the nazi SS.

Consider the German Nazis installed in high positions in NATO when it was formed in 1948. It dovetails with Paperclip.

It seems the USA picked up where the Nazis left off in 1945.

"...half a million dead Iraqis..."

The Iraqis, as I'm sure you're aware, are not alone in their frustration for wanting to assist in morality studies. And 'probably' is not the best adverb to describe the attitude of the Exceptional in their aversion to morality studies.

I certainly agree the Russia's policy positions are both serious and fascinating, but I'm not quite sure I understand what your point about them, apart from them being serious and fascinating, is. Am I missing something by not comparing how you've rearranged them 'for order and effect' with the original at https://www.un.org/en/ga/78/meetings/?

I've had a look at Karl Sanchez’s work. Wow, that's a LOT of reading. It would take me hours and hours. I guess I'm just not bright enough for stuff like that. Never mind.

In this case, of course, I should be fittingly grateful to you for chomping through it and condensing it for the less readingly inclined, like myself; and I am — thank you!

My pleasure. Copying and pasting made it seem less chronological so I changed the order but not the words nor intent. It saves a lot of time for those who will never read the comprehensible original which, as you noted, takes time... and I follow a lot of people like Karl so there's a multiplication factor.
