You're acting like this is something new. It started when the Republic was founded with slavery and worse...active slave trade remaining in place...a force for global evil. But when this country's force for global evil really reared it's ugly head was with the emergence of the Communist bloc...a handy historical feature that allowed both political parties to inundate the ignorant electorate of this country with the fear that at any time we would be over run by Cossacks and blood drinking Zipperheads from Asia, if not immediately vaporized by Communist atomic weaponry. Thus, us boomers, the "duck and cover" generation. But the best of it was saved for the time of the uholy rule of the Dulles brothers during the Eisenhower administration. I'm gonna say it started with the 1953 Allen Dulles CIA black ops overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian government of Iranian Prime Minister Mosaddegh, in favor of the monarchical rule of murderous cocksucker Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. And with that, the intelligence services of this country figured out how good they were at it, and often how ridiculously easy it was, and our "global evil" anti-communist excuse making began in earnest, and for most of the next three decades the politics of this country was all about which vote whoring politician was more anti-communist than the other. Welcome to the guy who made a career of commie busting...Richard Milhous Nixon.SJConspirator » 08 Aug 2021, 9:02 am » wrote: ↑ A case study: North Korea. A large percentage of their 25 million citizens is starving, they herd dissidents into huge concentration camps, and they are a nuclear power with the 4th largest military in the world. Their dictator, Kim Jong Un, may seem like a monster, but he brutally suppresses any dissent in his country and makes it a hellscape, because of US.
Kim Jong Un has seen leaders such as Saddam Hussein and Qaddafi die violent deaths after they loosened restrictions, bowed to U.S. sanctions and pressure to abandon their nuclear programs, or both. This is a guy who has learned from the mistakes of others, and his actions are not that of a lunatic... they are perfectly rational in light of the constant existential threat coming from the U.S.A.
So America exports terror, and even without much direct involvement, we passively create the conditions for human misery around the globe. Arent you proud to be an American, and pay your taxes to fund this ****?

We were really the best at this in Central America, and particlarly in El Salvador with the rise to power of President Alfredo Cristian a puppet president, who immediately ceded all his power to ARENA PARTY founder Roberto D'Aubuisson, whom former U.S. Ambassador Robert White calls a "pathological killer."
D'Aubuisson, a former cashiered Army Major with ties to Jesse Helms and the U.S. right, studied unconventional warfare in the U.S. at the Ft. Benning "School of the Americas." He once told European joumalists, "You Germans were very intelligent. You realized that the Jews were responsible for the spread of communism, so you killed them." According to D'Aubuisson, "the Christian Democrats [Ex- President Jose Napoleon Duarte's party] are communists," but Jesuit priests are "the worst scum" of all. U.S. State Department cables indicate D'Aubuisson "planned and ordered the assassination of the late Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero." It is believed he was behind the White Warriors Union (UGB), whose slogan was "Be patriotic - kill a priest." In 1989 six priests were slain and Cristiani soon admitted his U.S. trained soldiers had committed the murders. Yet, although assassinations of priests are notable, 70,000 other civilians have been killed by the Salvadoran military and the death squads since 1980. At the School of the Americas, D'Aubuisson was taught a number off effective interrogation techniques, his favorite quickly earned him the nickname "Blowtorch Bob."
Nope...as a force of global evil...nothing new at all.
