Yep, I also have a feeling they are singling out weak targets to appear strong, nationally and internationally: blackmail Ukraine, plan luxury resorts in Gaza, kill unarmed people unprovoked, kidnap the head of one of the weakest states on earth, threaten a starving country (Cuba), defund universities and humanitarian organizations.

They can be seen kneeling when Putin offers a shoe to polish and when they have to play the victim of hostile trade.

Sorry for going on a tangent. The frustration is real.
