Given the same opportunity would Russia and China not do the same things?

I acknowledge the US has been the “imperial core”. The thing I take issue with is the finger pointing.

As if the United States is unique in seeking out and pursuing its interests. China and Russia may not be the “imperial core” but, all nations will do what’s in their best interest.

That’s the flaw with nations, the campist lens of “America bad, Russia and China good” isn’t productive. Das all I’m saying.

I think the only war we tried to show our military might “greatness” was the Gulf War. It did establish America as a coalition force to the world.

I think the meme is accurate to people who once supported the war in Iraq. I don’t think it reflects people that opposed it or, people who have since changed their views on it.

It’s an international poker game and everyone is cheating. To see politics through a campist lens helps no one.
