Once upon a time, not too long ago, the United States thought of itself as a hero on the world stage. Sure, its actual actions often made that view grossly hypocritical. But even under Bush Jr, the United States was at least theoretically still on a mission to spread freedom, democracy, and fight evil.

Now it seems Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller are duking it out to see who can sound most like a crazed lunatic from a Bond movie.
