Motivation. Interesting observations. I don't believe the "I told you so" motive is accurate. The people to whom that would be directed have never been able to see they were wrong, that their practices have led to this situation, or that this situation exists.
For example. GWB lying. Even after even GWB admitted he lied, there are people who still won't admit it. "I told you so" runs off like the "Minute Waltz" at a deaf people's convention.
As to the enthusiastic applauding, that may be what some folks would do. The people I know are screaming that message to the rooftops in hopes that practices can change. Better late than never. We grew up in a world where the US was No. 1, and don't want to live in a world where assets have been so squandered to where the US is No. 2 or 3 or 4.
I think that is the reason. Power loses it's strength when it's used. And the US has used up it's power. Sad.
