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?
Same can be said about most of Western Europe though.
Of course. All imperial core countries.
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.
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
US' entire existence is built on its intellectual capital.
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.

I'd say international trade
