USA, Russia, China. All bullies. Always has been.
As will be, likely as not, anyone who takes their place. That's why a more equitable distribution of power is so important. As long as we allow a few countries to dominate world affairs, they will continue to attempt (to varying degrees depending on their interests, public mood, and political class) to do so to their own benefit (or rather, to the decision-makers' benefit) regardless of the morality of their actions.
They'll continue to do so as long as their respective population allows them
We here inside the country definitely need to fight harder against this sentiment. A short decade ago, I would arguably count myself among them, albeit not in an interventionist sense, but in a hegemonic "It's okay that we pay Europe's way in defense; nothing bad or sapping of the EU's independence could ever come of it!"
I... had a lot more faith in the modern American electorate before the first Trump administration.
Hegemony is unsafe and corrupting for all parties, and should be reduced wherever possible.
AMERICA BAD FUCK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!1!!!1!
On the one hand: I agree. On the other: what is the problem with illiterates agreeing with you on an issue? Illiterates decide elections if nothing else

Illiterates can set narratives, as seen with the Trump administration, and that can include extremely dangerous and damaging narratives.
Illiterates decide elections if nothing else
We certainly saw that in 2024, when a narrative pushed by political illiterates posited that it wasn't worth voting because both sides were the same in the end.
