President Donald Trump does believe in climate change and that humans have a role in it, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview on "State of the Union."

Which one?

I mean, my country is a minor power. World's 9th largest GDP, home to one of the World's Wonders, zero religious terror attacks, the 1st in line to a seat in the Security Council, my president (and all previous), although corrupt, never got accused of being bought by a foreign country.

My country is so useless that the US actually bought us a power plant and a metallurgical plant in order for us to joint WWII. Not just that, the US government moved a fleet to my shore in order to overthrew our government in the heights of the Cold War.

Yes, we're not in the big boys band. We're not a european power, neither a large power in America. But sometimes I get sick of seeing rednecks considering the world is divided between the Mighty And Blessed United States of The America and the Sick Rest Of The World That Wants To Steal Everything From The Mighty And Blessed United States of The America. The Republican Party I studied here was patriotic, yes, but never this selfish caricature of isolacionism and arrogance. Yet, "America" loves to speak out loud everywhere it's the land of the free, harbinger of democracy and example to the world. If you want to be an example, you need to know the difference between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, cities as important as Krakow, Prague and Stockholm. Every country has the right to close itself, it's part of the self determination (that US, in a convenient fashion, seems to forget from time to time) of each and every State, but stop this demagogue speech of "we're the birthplace of freedom, we're the example of democracy, y'all are just jealous of us. Oh, stop taking money away from us, but follow whatever diplomatic shithole I, the mighty USA, order you to". And, more important, if the rest of the world is a bunch of "parasites, non functional shitholes, USA-wannabes, filled with globalists that threaten to destroy the Mighty America", stop visiting the rest of the world. Stop flooding Rio's beaches, stop going to see Roman ruins in Rome, stop going to the Louvre, to visit the Museumplein. You want to isolate your country in a bubble? Isolate it. But don't be a hypocrite, don't go with this "fair trade" blablabla that's just a remnant of the imperialism era and ricardian agreements, don't talk about going to other countries, don't bother speaking about other countries. Just isolate yourself and wait for the ruin that comes to every empire that isolates itself. The american ideal, of freedom and democracy, is the dynamo of our modern western world, but damn, you guys are trying to ruin it every single day.

And I just fell on a bait and wrote a long rant to a troll. Whatever, I'm bored anyway
