Well, this is a new low.

I imagine Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are absolutely delighted by this turn of events.

Congratulations, Mr Trump, for utterly destroying whatever was left of the US's moral authority.

What moral authority? The US never had any of it. Although I know they claimed it ad nauseam.

Oh, yeah. 2020 already kinda ended up doing wonders for China's global standing relative to the US, but now it looks like Trump and his cult's temper tantrum are gonna seal the deal.

Journalists were shot with rubber bullets in the fucking face for just standing somewhere in the vicinity of largely peaceful BLM protests. It's telling as fuck that cops haven't straight up slaughtered these actual terrorists.
