I think you have misconceptions about what American policy has been in the past. Remember all the US backed coups in South and Central America, accompied by mass slaughter of political opposition (e.g. Contras in Nicaragua) often by groups trained in US military schools, the extensive bombing campaigns in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia with 100k-1m lives lost, all the US backed dictators (Suharto, Irans Shah,...), to name just a few.
More like ignorant. The US spent decades supporting whichever side would work with us, including overthrowing democratically elected rulers that wouldn't. Maybe we've learned, or maybe in another 30+ years we'll hear about all the shit we're pulling now.

Are you serious?!! All of these countries I listed had democratic governments couped out or attempted to be forced out by USA. If you are ignorant about history you can just Google it.Or maybe staying ignorant is part of your grand strategy to avoid cognitive dissonance.How is USA imposing a dictatorship on Chile nonsense?.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat#:~:text=On%2011%20September%201973%2C%20after,power%20in%20a%20coup%20of" r
I love how you cherry-picked South America and ignore recent examples where US is directly involved in impoverishing people by destroying their country in the name of democracy. Democracy meaning installing their own puppets who will allow them to loot. Countries like Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait etc. All South American countries have been at war. All of them. Google them one by one. Leave China out of this equation because they have never started or sponsored war outside Asia. When a count
USA has actively participated in overthrowing democracies around the world. Not to mention killing thousands of common people in Middle East and elsewhere. But the same emotions doesn't rise here. Too much hypocrisy?
You forgot quite a few...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202112/1240540.shtmlBut you're the good guys and do that to deliver freedom and democracy so
The US has a long history of sponsoring violent coups. I don't think you get to talk about 'saving' anyone.
