Because the US is literally one of the most powerful nations and militaries on Earth, and they have a rapist, treasonous, failed businessman as a president. During a time when Russia has decided to stretch itself into a facsimile of it's Roman Empire inspiration of conquer and assimilate, Israel and Palestine are going at it really fucking hard, and they all (besides Palestine) have nuclear weapons.
Yeah, I think we're allowed to be vocally critical of them.
Not one of. The US is the richest and most militarily powerful country in history. They have so many natural resources and such good human resources they can afford to make many mistakes and not really lose any ability or potential.
The EU comes in second.
