The strong soft power the US had, it's slowly losing because of their president. It's quite obvious from the outside. At first we didn't good the president against the country or the people. But people across the world are slowly realizing that a large part of the population supports the lunacy and the US, anti-communist as it may be, is slowly desintegrating into an unfree country.
So perhaps a few missiles on the robocall companies aren't a bad idea after all. It's not like the US had much of an image to hold up anymore.
