The United States of America is a curious creature especially according to its presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.On the one hand it is an “exceptional nation,” “the last best hope of Earth” and “a shining city on a hill.” On the other, it is a pathetic plaything of Russia’s Dr. Evil, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
