Missouri ridiculously sues China over COVID-19 — crybaby American whining — cowboy up

Foreigners should be excused for thinking that . . .
. . . the United States is a deadly plague.
We pride ourselves on behavior comprised of predation, oppression, theft and generally vile behavior — in every one of its sin-based respects.
Contributing to this avalanche of misery-inducing, bulging weapons ooze — is America's narcissistically self-righteous squalling.
A good example is Missouri's lawsuit against China for its handling of COVID-19.
It is difficult to sink to more ridiculously roach-like, pestilential lows than that.
Particularly so, given that the United States and Missouri did their very best — even after months of warning, courtesy of that same China — to ensure that COVID would quickly run rampant through our Sea-to-Sea nation with no impediments whatsoever.
Ironically — demonstrating a marked difference in cultural smarts
It was China, rather than the US lamestream, that immediately explained the governing law.

Initiation of the Missouri v. China lawsuit reeks of . . .
. . . our culturally characteristic senses of (a) American victimization and (b) lack of accountability.
We are always the victims, no matter how comparatively small the injury involved. And no matter how much we contributed to bringing that alleged bruising on.
We set aside whole days to anguish about past wounds that most sanely healthy nations would have gotten over — or prayerfully buried — decades ago.
To be American is to brat-whine and spray bullets, missiles and lawsuits at whatever moves in Unwelcome Reality's great land.
Corpulent crybabies acting out
We delight in making existence miserable for most of the metaphorically stouter-souled people whom we meet.
The only other nation that matches us in:
manipulatively propagandized moaning
victimhood's perpetually propagandized pageant
and
always deadly belligerence
. . . is Israel.
Throughout history, a more contextually contemptible pair of nations would be very difficult to find.
Especially so, given their combined military and economic abilities to make other people(s) perennially suffer for no rationally good reasons.
The moral? — My Depression-World War II Era parents would be appalled at American behavior today
They took pride in being strong-hearted, resilient, forgiving and genuinely well-meaning.
"Cowboy up" was engrained.
In contrast, what is the United States' reason-for-being — these days?
I struggle to find one that is not morally and spinelessly loathsome.
You can bet that 'foreigners' increasingly see us in contemptuous light.

For self-respect's sake, cowboy up.
