I don't think this is trolling, that comment sums up outside perceptions of the USA that I've been hearing. Even the vitriolic tone is increasingly commonplace here, and we're a close US ally.

Diesel prices tripled here at their recent peak because of the USA and Israel's pointless incursion in Iran and it's clear that Trump and his administration are both desperate to open the Strait, and also completely unable to do so.

The world is getting pretty fed up with the idiocy, especially when it crosses the line from sad buffoonery to something that economically impacts us.
