    am I crazy if I think that sounds like some kind of "soft" white nationalism?

    If trump said the same thing, liberals would call him a nazi

      This is imperialism plain and simple. The USA is a white nationalist country and spreads that and capitalism around the world through imperialism.

        It's more like white internationalist with how many fascists they've supported and their "allies" (which are also all white supremacist countries or their puppets).

      No. That's exactly what they're saying. They're saying that this white supremacist settler shithole knows what's best for the world.

      Only if this was emphasized by their state department epistemology, as dictated by prestigious media outlets. These media outlets fully support US imperialism, so it would be more like the time Trump ordered an airstrike on Syria and CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and WaPo stumbled over themselves to declare "This is the moment Trump finally acted Presidential."

          To be fair, I was an insufferable shitlib at the time, and the cognitive dissonance of that moment definitely helped shake something loose in my head. There is a limit to how far these institutions can stretch reality.
