This time, East Africa made a big move, but because East Africa didn't act under its own banner in Central and Eastern Europe, it merely set the tone, and now everyone is condemning the Americans, incidentally diverting some social conflicts under the economic downturn of various countries, which governments are happy to see happen.
However, it was the first time Americans truly realized the existence of East Africa on the world stage, especially since it escalated to the level of bilateral diplomacy, with the Far Eastern Empire government jointly pressuring America. This feeling of being dominated is quite unpleasant, whereas the European commentary on America seems trivial, like having too many lice that you stop itching, or too many debts that you stop worrying.
