Do you think the USA is viewed as the most unstable, unreliable version of itself since its founding?

[RoeVWade]

'Cause I sure think so. People saying we're strong or whatever, bah!

[OLDMDDEM]

1. There is no doubt about that.

[MiHale]

2. Maybe not since founding but...

certainly after WW 2.

[Johonny]

3. Since the Civil War possibly

Wasn't very stable in the 1860s.

4. Yes.

Electoral autocracy is a less stable form of government than even the most flawed form of democracy that the US has had.
Reliable? I think that whether the US will now be more reliable as a friend of Putin than it has been a friend of Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand is too soon to call.

5. It's stable because only one side has the guns.
