This isn’t flame bait. I honestly didn’t know. I’ve heard a mixture of confused ideas and wanted to see what people here thought.
Why can’t anyone here answer it? Shouldn’t it theoretically be transparent to at least some people in the US? Maybe it’s not but that sounds like a huge problem
Strangers on the internet are not qualified to answer deeply complex questions like this despite what they might think.
Foreign affairs is something that people dedicate their lives to studying and understanding. I seriously doubt those experts are here answering this question.
Do you notice how all of the answers you’ve received are inconsistent with each other?
