If I'm in a country where police mostly do what they're supposed to do. I don't live in the USA and I've called the cops for unclear and probably dangerous situations, traffic accidents, people sleeping at the bus stop when it's too cold and they don't respond to me yelling... So far everything turned out well. I mean I don't call them for fun, though.
we getting pretty close to where this gonna turn into a flex
Bruh, countries been flexing like that for at least forty years...
when did it start resonating with USian? \
also 84 is a strech when 90s was peak Americana
but yeah at some point after the two idiotic wars and 2008 melt down US turned into its soft power into a joke.
Maybe your peak wasn't that impressive to begin with.
50s was a better time🤡
