I'm just speculating here, but it seems likely that Russia, China, Iran and other hostiles take all this woke craziness as a sign that the West has become self-absorbed, weak and decadent. Add in our botched Afghanistan withdrawal and our general unwillingness to use military force, and these predators probably get the reasonable impression that there will be little response to their aggression. We quibble over ludicrous nonsense and the amused crocodiles smile.
