My schadenfreude is really high right now for the US. It's like you guys tried really hard for a month and a half and you did you best but it just not you. And instead of trying to change who you guys are, you just embraced a corona-positive lifestyle and now post about how great and life-changing it is on Instagram.
I'm not even surprised. This is often compared to a wartime situation and this is how the USA has behaved in nearly all wartime situations.
The only example of the US not going all in in recent history is Syria and if you go back further in time probably the Cuban missile crisis.
WW1
French: "Don't just run at the German machine guns, they'll tear you to shreds it's better to...."
USA: "COWARDS, You're just too weak to break the German lines, let's go boys! USA USA!"
WW2
Churchill: "You see Italy is the soft underbelly of Europe, if we land there then..."
USA: "No, we'll liberate France, the liberation starts there, we'll just drop our para boys behind enemy lines and straight up attack their most heavily defended beach fortifications FOR LIBERTY"
WW2 Part II
Soviet Union: "We will now join you in your battle to fight Japan it is too dangerous to attack them directly, we first need to take out their puppet states"
USA: "We'll just nuke em, fuck yeah"
Korea
South Korea: "Well this is hopeless, we can't beat the communists"
USA: "Don't worry, we'll push them back into CHINA!"
McArthur: "How about we nuke the Chinese?"
Truman: "Ok dude, time-out"
Vietnam
France: "It is impossible to impose our will on these people, we're outta here"
USA: "COWARDS, you just need some more NAPALM"
Serbia
Germany: "Declaring Kosovo a state will really upset the Russians, they see this as an attack on their backyard, there is a long history that...."
USA: "Serbians can eat shit, Kosovo is now FREE bitches"
Afghanistan
Russia: "So this is where the Taliban camps are but just in and out, I wouldn't stay there bad idea"
USA: "Those guys can't do shit. We'll win this in 2 weeks, trust us"
Iraq
UN: "It is probably a really bad idea even if Saddam has nukes, our inspections so far don't show anything alarming"
USA: "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*"
Libya
Russia: "Well, it would be terrible if that city would turn into a killing field. So we agree that action should be undertaken to defend it"
USA: "RAPING QADDAFI IN A DITCH AFTER DROPPING F16 BOMBS ON HIS ASS AND HILLARY LAUGHING ABOUT IT ON TV IS BASICALLY DEFENSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT"
Syria
Russia: "Arming these terrorists is a really bad idea"
USA: "Surely these guys can't be worse than Assad?"
Ukraine
EU: "We must be careful, you will probably upset the balance of power in the region, who knows what Putin will do and we're not sure the opposition can be trusted..."
USA: "FUCK THE EU! FUCK PUTIN! UKRAINE FREE!"
So to me it is no surprise that in this 'war' the US wants to have the most masks, ventilators, vaccines and at the same time open the earliest.
