What makes you think this wouldn’t undermine the credibility of the U.S.? It’s just as undignified as a cage fight in front of the White House. But hey, I can put your mind at ease—there’s no credibility left to undermine anyway, since the U.S. has already lost it all. To the rest of the world, however, this has more to do with the fact that U.S. citizens are unable to remove from office a president who is not only incredibly corrupt but who also uses the state apparatus to make the unspeakable crimes he and his billionaire friends commit possible in the first place. U.S. citizens may be willing to accept it when their leaders rape children and commit the most horrific war crimes. The rest of the world will not put up with it. In the long run, this will lead to the downfall of the U.S. If you need an example of this, just look at what has become of Russia after the oligarchs took complete control - btw, this was made possible with the support of the U.S. (Clinton had even sent campaign experts at the time to help Yeltsin stay in power). The citizens of the remaining democratic nations do not want this, and that is why they particularly despise the U.S. citizens for the fact that they stand by and just watch even in the face of these inconceivable atrocities. It shows all too clearly that even functioning democracies are not immune to the concentrated monstrosity that the U.S. represents with its inhumane capitalism. This is what this regime has achieved, and one almost has to be grateful to it for that: It has exposed the U.S. for what this country has been for decades.
