I would add that first they embargoed a country and then sold themselves as liberators. Is there any cognitive dissonance we have?! XD

Yes. We must not ignore our part in the destabilization of any country.
This is not the first time I am appalled by the actions of my country. I am appalled because I actually believe in those principles I was taught as a child, ideals that are supposed to represent the ethos of my country: freedom, equal rights, liberty. Of course these ideals have never been achieved, but always leaders gave lip service to them, because the people mostly believed in them. Naive, like me. What horrifies me is that the lip service is gone. No one is pretending to live up to the ideals that are supposed to represent the country I grew up in. Has the culture of the country changed so much that we can be the 'bad' guys, and that's OK?
Imperial America was there, no one thought it could return, then imperialized by Trump... We can say that it will be a sad period geopolitically speaking, but surely in the next elections the damage done in these will be recovered, and I also speak for my country, which is not in a better position.
I am not the first person to see a similarity between this time in history and the 1930s. It seems the world goes through spasms, historically, through waves. There is a rise of authoritarianism and then a revolt. Why the revolutions of 1848 in Europe? Why the rise of autocracy globally in the 1930s? Why the wave of anti-liberalism now, and trend toward authoritarian leaders, globally? I don't know.
