Perhaps I am simply too woke in certain respects...or misunderstanding your post. The US govt (and society more broadly) has seemingly adopted the edict of Leonidas vis a vis the rest of the world: "give them nothing, and take from them everything".
Similar to Israel, the US is almost always the aggressor — a very self-righteous aggressor with delustions of being the perpetual victim and underdog. It touts enlightenment values that it does not embody, and believes that these values somehow make it entitled to act with impunity.
It is like Rome...but Rome at its worst and most base. Rome as an imperial power, as a self-righteous hypocrit. All pomp and posturing.
