[Why? It would be wonderful if the US government minded its own business. ]


Because their business is our business. Countries are not autarkies. You can’t hunker down in your bunker and pretend that the world is one of unicorns and rainbows. You think Switzerland would have remained independent if either the Nazis or the Soviets had conquered the rest of the continent? WWII was obviously an extreme case, but merely funding China’s internal opponents is a fine way of keeping an adversary tied up in knots. The Chinese certainly have no problems getting into our business.

Yep, it is perfectly normal but $100k in Russian Facebook ads and 13 internet trolls are bloody murder.
That’s the ticket and some are surprised why nobody abroad takes US serious anymore.
