No, wealthy Westerners thrive because they exploit nations and constrain their independence. We (working Westerners) endure the same treatment but become nationalists when our countries invade others.

You won't see the historical background if you receive all your information via the media and don't look up the pre-war events. There has been a civil war in Ukraine since 2014, and Russia, NATO, and the US met numerous times before the war to discuss tensions.

In December 2022, the US ignored Russia's diplomatic attempts and refused to negotiate. You can find this information on the White House website and the internet, but it won't appear unless you search for it.

All of Latin America falls under the US sphere of influence, and almost 800 military bases globally and control of the global economy facilitate US hegemony. None of this is for the public's well-being, and Latin Americans continually protest against US interventions because they still endure coups and political meddling.

Russia isn't a saint, but the US is the world's worst enemy. Developing nations don't back the US war against Russia or China and call for multipolarity to restrain the US' horrendous global dominance.

These statements aren't my opinion and don't represent everyone's attitude, but the world's majority detests the US. We don't know this because it counters the "saving the world" narrative, and the US doesn't expose itself to maintain public support for wars.

Sanctions starve Afghanistan, while Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Iraq, and every nation that doesn't obey the US endure severe repercussions. Our foreign policy and IMF loans kill and torture millions, yet we insist these actions protect people from evil leaders because our media and politicians say so.
