>>20 "all the supposed evil capitalists and republican senators know this and are vehement in stopping imperialist activity" This is now. The CIA is still a terror organization and America is doing nothing to clean up what it committed itself to during the Cold War.
" is obvious that the US's self-evident libertarian principles are the key to it's success." Pop-pop-populism.

"The US itself is just a collection of states, all of them them equivalent plucky underdogs sticking it to the evil socialist empires." As much as you salivate to the image of young idealists with big rifles in raccoon hats traversing the Montana wild in pursuit of an invading Soviet force, the US can never be described as plucky. Hypocritical, well-meaning, unreliable and manipulative, yes. But underdogs? Uhuh. Uhuhuhuhuh.
