Thank you so much for sharing this analysis. The interaction we all saw was so outside the norm of international relations it was hard to believe it actually took place. While for many of us it reinforces the inadequacy of the people who are exercising power there are, incomprehensibly to me, people who feel this was an appropriate show of power. I am saddened and angered by what I see happening in your country. For so long the US has been an example of a country generally trying to do right in the world. While certainly not perfect (what country is) the underlying driving force always appeared to have a desire to enhance global peace and security and to demonstrate concern for others. If you have any recommendations as to steps that can be taken by the average person to mitigate the negative impact of this group of “leaders” please share. I suspect some of the treatment strategies in therapy might help.
