Still looking at the details, but this morning, one of the biggest French newspapers was basically headlining (a slightly more polite version of) TACO.
Not a good image for the US around the world, including its (former?) allies, I guess.
Would a better image be destroying the power plants and water desalination of 90M people?
We are in an era of clickbait; mainstream media tends to be sycophantic to the views of its readers.
What's à good image of the US nowadays ? Artemis maybe. That's all.
