Corruption, lies, intimidations have been the main ingredients of america's hegemony all over the World. Why should that change ! Only the weaking-up of the american society could do something about it; the more she wait, the worse it will get. We are just dummy by-standers wishing that our leaders who know the sad realities, start exposing the facts instead of binding over in rdiculous diplomatic, furbery shows...Sorry Future Generations. Best Regards...Jean-Claude Meslin
