Yertl to world: The United States can and will unilaterally abrogate any or all international agreements, understandings or obligations at any time that it is politically expedient to do so.
They have a zero-sum worldview: For someone to benefit, someone has to pay. There's no such thing as mutual benefit. If we ain't winnin', then we must be losin'.
Ooh ooh! That's always a fun game! Here's Yertl's latest pronouncement run round-trip through Translate:

Of course, if you look at US history, that's really nothing new.
When in doubt, double down.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a bag of salted rat dicks today!
Well, it's April. And Yertl's a fool. Unfortunately, the joke is on all of us.
