The U.S. has intervened more often in more countries farther from its own shores than has any power in modern history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The United States has been a global power since late in the 19th century.
It's alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States.
The United States is a superpower whose influence reaches across oceans and beyond borders.
Countries that intervene militarily rarely do so out of pure altruism.
The United States has far more to offer the world than our bombs and missiles and our military technology.
While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known.
Every country that's ever been the most powerful country in the world ceases to be the most powerful country in the world at some point.
No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?
There are lots of countries that are having these kinds of internal civil wars in other parts of the world and nobody is talking about intervening.
American influence in the world is certainly considerable, but the United States does not control, directly or indirectly, the politics and economics of other societies, as empires have always done, save for a few special cases that turn out to be the exceptions that prove the rule.
