Tbh when they themselves generally get hurt more from their own actions it isn't a surprise they shriek in pain as they strike you. It's more like, they shriek in pain when they shoot themselves in the foot trying to hit you.To paraphrase the racist quote against jews, "the West shrieks in pain as he strikes you".
You saw this attitude when Trump & Co. reacted angrily after China enacted reciprocal tariffs after Trump admin. started the trade war and had the gall to shout at China to "not react". You saw this attitude when the Anglo white supremacist Jackson Society wanted China to pay reparations for COVID. Make no mistake, this is the mentality of a religious narcissist, that all that they do, bombing and killing middle eastern and asian civilians is justified because the West is pure and does things out of noble intentions the same way european colonists massacred and genocided and enslaved non whites and stole land and resources as just 'payment' for showing the natives the Bible and spreading Christianity.
The CIA is the biggest narco-terrorist organisation in LATAM, Mexico is simply doing what it can to re-assert autonomy and sovereignty
America had its turn during the trade war, now we're broadly seeing China's turn where the global economy is being leveraged against USA, from inducing recession into NATO without any cost to China, to probing OPEC and potentially fucking with individual EU members to plant seeds of dissent within US puppets.
I predict China's next 2 moves as testing Japan's "loyalty" and furthering EU breakup. There is really not much US can do anymore after losing the trade war. If they keep isolating themselves on tech, they will end up the like the USSR. US policy to sacrifice client state welfare to stave off recession (unsuccessfully) at home has caused widespread dissent.
