This is so much BS. You should actually read the history of the reasons for the involvement of the US in the WW2 theaters.

You sound like a young kid who has never actually read about history and geopolitics.

Please dude, actually read up on the involvement of the US in the secret wars in Cambodia by Kissinger, the School of the Americas, instrumental in teaching South American militaries repressive strategies that killed tens of thousands of innocents with the full support of the American government, the Iran-Contra affair, the ridiculous involvement in Vietnam.

There is an innumerably long list of atrocities commited purposely by the American government and with the silent consent of the American majority.

Seriously bro, Irak happened less than 15 years ago in a completely manufactured war and you're actually so stupid to believe that there's anything particularly worthy of American Imperalism?

You should try to be on the receiving end of the American business interests that have fueled these conflicts, lest we see what your opinion on the matter would be.

Kissinger was just pure evil. Apart from his involvement in the things above, he also actively supported dictators in Pakistan, and indirectly did nothing to stop the slaughter of civilians in (then) East Pakistan.

But, I still stand by my point: Americans have strived to right the wrongs (and there have been many and monumental ones). Eventually all these 'secret' activities have come out and the public has ensured that the people responsible were shamed or held accountable, to some extent (it never is a full reckoning, unfortunately). I can't think of that happening in China, for instance. Name any other great power that hasn't had stuff like this?
