Are you trying to suggest that the Great Satan USA isn’t responsible for every single genocide in world history? Preposterous!

The weirdest part is that the US never really got up to much imperialism compared basically every other world power.

Korea, Japan, the UK, and the EU are essentially 100% dependent on the US, which is why the are kowtowing and letting Trump do whatever he wants. The US has always been imperialist, they just don’t try to openly declare half a continent across the globe as rightfully theirs, just bullying their “allies” into favorable treaties

It engaged in a lot of imperialism, but then when it found itself on the top spot a new form of colonialism was being built, that of cultural and economic hegemony. Occupation by corporation rather than by military.
