Did you miss how the period of US dominance has been one of the most peaceful and prosperous eras in world history? How much poverty has been relieved over the past 50 years around the globe? Or are you going to continue to say that being a great power is inherently evil
Losing my mind here.
US dominance has included a ton of wars, deliberate immiseration of whole countries (leading to mass civilian death) and coups which put genocidaires in head of state roles.
Most of that poverty reduction is from Communist China. Super slimy to use it to argue for American benevolence.
the template in the minds of empire apologists is ancient Rome, but the difference is Rome imposed a certain order, whereas American empire is premised on instability to justify permanent militarization of large swathes of the globe. Submission isn't enough, we require suffering.
But it's good for amerikkka, and by that I mean the select few who own everything and will never experience pain ..and by golly do their boots taste good to redditors.

Apologies for the Star Wars reference but I'm sure the galaxy was a peaceful place when the Empire has it's boot firmly on every planet.
