Not sure if that's sarcasm or ppl down voted you for nothing ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Ofc outside of the USA, internal politics is not our focus, even though we see regressive policies hurting the population (eg. Abortion). How the us handles foreign policy (not just war and conflicts), it pretty obviously only has its capitalist overlords best interest in mind.
That was a genuine response.
Down votes or upvotes whatever votes.
I'm trying to relate and understand.
I don't agree with the simplified absolutist perspective you've put forth, but I understand how you could come to that conclusion and how it would circumstantially appear to be a uniquely American endeavor.
I agree that's not a full view of America, but for the general population that only hears about the USA through conventional media, I'd say that's what most people will see and remember.
And of course this is only my perspective from my country and my neighbors may very well have a different outlook.
