I'm finishing up an essay on the same topic, and the US expanded its sphere of influence throughout the planet and then took it to the next level; Space Force bitches!

Of all places, the US threatens Indonesia. Um, have you read or heard about the Jakarta Method? Let us not forget who dromped two atomic bombs on civilians - and the war was already over.

The US relentlessly provokes China, and the Chinese government refuses to engage or replies with, "we aren't interested in an arms race." Also, China doesn't covertly and overtly overthrow governments and bomb countries into an oblivion.
