If they didn’t comment this about being the U.S. I would have assumed this was about Spain. See every “sunken Spanish ship found with treasure” article that pops up throughout the year.

Lol great read. Jack Handey is a legend… I liked this bit:
Speaking of films, I could show you some films, films which show a different, gentler side of Earth. And while you’re watching the films I sort of slip away, because guess what? The projector is actually a thing that shoots out spinning blades! And you fell for it! Well, maybe not now.
This is how I feel about elves.
Now carry this to its logical conclusion folks: the global exploitation of the land, labor, and resources of so-called “developing” nations is an ongoing geopolitical strategy of both parties within our two-party system. They told us that we were the world’s police while U.S. companies and politicians raked in the profits.
Domestic policy of late as well.
