Spreading spoilt marmalade over rancid butter on stale bread ....

that's how the Roman empire met its end.  Rome was not able to keep afloat all the hundreds of locations outside of Rome where they had installed their puppet governments and kept Roman soldiers to safeguard the puppets from the wrath of the citizens of those countries.  America, the dying empire, is doing the same right here in front of our eyes but we refuse to see it going wilfully over the cliff.

On a humorous note,  the moment the oligarch honcho of the Ukrainian coup regime started  his speech slurping at USA's behind, there was a burst of thunder, lighting and rainfall. Probably that big guy up there in the sky threw up mightily!
