I would have never thought of a world were Russia , France and Germany would be the good guys taking a stand against U.S. war crime agression , while countries in South America build alliances and their country 's wealth and reputations on anti-American sentiment and spiking oil ( while American 's pay the price at the pump ) , and huge amounts of time and money are spent on a bizarre timeline of sanctions that seemed more geared towards not backing down on arrogant posturing started by Bush prodding a stick at nations like Iran and North Korea to begin with .
