    Remind me again why the US are the good guys? Literally out here claiming territories like how Russia wants to reclaim Ukraine and China wants to claim Taiwan?

    Just spell it out. It’s not that hard.

      Most of it is leftover good will from the world wars and the second age of colonialism, the Cold war didn’t do too much damage reputation wise because well the Soviets were doing similar shit so it all equeled out. Problem is we seem to be heading towards a post super power world and also the US is in active imperial decline and has been since the 80s, so it’s getting rather unstable.
