While I wonder if we even have a democracy with insurrectionists remaining in Congress and an echo chamber media that feeds Americans what they want to hear in lieu of what they need to hear (Thom Hartmann is in that category), because of our imperialist nature America has always had great influence on what happens globally. When we escalate our weapons caches and nuclear arsenals, so do other countries (purchasing weapons from us no less). Lest we forget our interference in Brazil from a coup in 1964 to Operation Car Wash from 2014 through 2018. Destabilization triggering rightward turns of foreign governments has long been a specialty of America's under Democrats and Republicans alike.
Agree, we the USA have had our hands in many areas of the world, when we should have known better. But preventing communism from entering our soil, was always the excuse. Nevertheless, the chickens have come home to roost and will continue until we as a united country act accordingly to benefit our neighbors who share the same land as a separate continent and clean up our backyard.
Somehow the fact that what goes around comes around seems to be lost on the Red Scare pundits and MSNBC liberals. We have wrought more random death and destruction around the world against black and brown people over the last century than any country, draining our moral and financial capital to the extent that there is nothing left to do but express outrage over Putin's incursion into a corrupt white European country and wonder how half the electorate, mostly working class, could support Trump.
