Baby Yoda I Don’t Care What Day It Is It’s Early I’m Grumpy I Want Coke Shirt
Let's be frank here. Not all interventions are equal. America has done wonderful
stuff in the past. Like defending South Korea from North Korean aggression in
the 50s. Like driving out the Iraqis from Kuwait back in 91. But in the same
vein, the US has also Baby Yoda I Don’t Care What Day It Is It’s Early I’m Grumpy I Want Coke

done more morally questionable stuff like the Iraq War and supporting little
tinpot dictators in Latin America and Southeast Asia during the Cold
War. Yes precisely why I said it. But people tend to dwell only on the
negatives. Yes what the US, more specifically the CIA, did in the Cold War to
overthrow governments in the name of democracy was horrible, but too many times
do we forget all the good some intervention has done. America isn't Great
Satan that wants to force you to sell your children on the altar of capitalism.
Similarly, America isn't your personal knight in shining armour to save your
country from any and every problem that it might have. America is in the middle
of these two extremes. I know this might sound strange with folks used to
American exceptionalism but the US is just like every other country. It has its
own interests and does what is appropriate(or what your leaders think is
appropriate) to preserve these interests. Not Great Satan. Not the world
police. Ehh. I dunno if we're exactly the same as other nations at this
point. We're ridiculously huge for one country, which leads to a lot of
resources. We also have a gigantic military, and for the modern epoch.
