Vietnam war shows this, as the military supporting tap can be turned off without much notice when Henry K brokered a deal with China behind their Southern ally.
How do other developed democracies compare to the us in bipolarity of politics? And would they seem more insane if they were scaled to our level of influence?
Interesting question actually. Hard to tell, not many democracies reached this level.
But the two party system in the US and almost 50/50 split makes it very bipolar. The US also has a long history with isolationist sentiments that kind of unique to it I think.
