The 0ministration doesn't appreciate the blood and treasure our nation invested over the past 100+ years to be "running the show" today. They have urinated-away our remaining goodwill and have no respect for our heritage of spreading liberty.

That's more or less what the Axis powers said to their subjects in the conquered territories as the Allies advanced against them.
