    No because you’re using your current “America bad” outrage to justify other countries and their expansionism. Other countries can be bad, you know? Many just were unable to do so under American hegemony.

      China hasn’t tried to expand or colonize anyone in my lifetime. America has some so numerous times. Maybe stop being so defensive and look at history without your America colored glasses.

        I never once tried to say the US is perfect but countries are also more hesitant to do things like that due to US policing. So yes, while the U.S. has done bad, its geopolitical stance post WW2 has been mostly successful in stabilizing the world and deterring aggression.
