Lmao is that why the US's entire existence is built on invasions, coups, sanctions and genocides in countries on completely different continents for not being subservient to its capitalist government?
I think they were answering the 'should' not 'does'.
As in, those are the good reasons a major power should be involved in foreign nations. The US of course doesn't do anything for good reasons
Same can be said about most of Western Europe though.
Didn’t it just happen earlier in Asia too? This feels like a humanity problem that we could probably overcome if we had less sociopaths amongst us.
Of course. All imperial core countries.
US' entire existence is built on its intellectual capital.
You mean on the intellectual capital of the nazi scientists US brought over after WW2?
I'd say international trade
Weird way to spell imperialism. Ig all the millions of victims of the US around the world can rest easy knowing their deaths made some capitalist richer.
When I think of imperialism, I think of colonies, which isn't really applicable. But the US does make trade agreements that are often harsh and unfair.
In other words, you have no argument.
Which part of my comment do you disagree with?
The part where the US isn't THE city on the hill probably lol
