    I don't think that the U.S. is incompetent when it comes to dealing with European countries because they own, and have owned, the major media apparatuses of those countries since WWII. It is the same with Japan and South Korea. The further away from those places you get though, the more tenuous the tendrils are. Sometimes things work out, but many times they do not and they have to make the best of the blowback they caused, but the blowback was not intentional. The U.S. is certainly in a position to make the most of bad decisions, but that doesn't mean they aren't making them.
