It must be getting time for me to ask that the world be stopped so I can step off. Consider Ukraine and Gaza. There is a common thread uniting the two. We the West have the right to control, change and determine the destiny of the peoples, dispose of their land and territory, and install or reject and topple their governments whether elected or not. You have no right to resist.
Europeans and Westerners rightly and gratefully remember the United States as liberator and defender of freedom and liberty. Across vast swaths of the Third World, however, for most of the Cold War, in the name of fighting communism, Washington bankrolled and armed dictators, toppled independent-minded democrats, and fueled civil wars.
In a Chatham House study of elite perceptions, Europeans emphasized America's historical "moral leadership" and praised U.S. ideals and values as inspirational. But many Asian elites view it as hypocritical, overbearing, arrogant and disinterested in others' interests, aggressively pushing its own policy priorities instead with a disparity between words and actions.
