> So the conclusion is that the new western colonialism is actually looking like a pretty good option, and shouldn't have such a bad connotation, perhaps it should be embraced in this new world order no?

Or how about we finally go and accept that both Russia and China are imperialist projects too, just like the US are, and oppose all three?

I think just accepting that is more than enough, the US, and Western countries have been target of foreign propaganda and internal self flagellation for old and new imperialism, to the point where some former colonies are getting annoyed because it implies they don't have agency because they were former colonies!

I think the first step is to start to expose the colonists and imperialists in disguise and start to address them for what they are.
