We have economically & culturally annexed huge swaths of the world. When nations push back, we bomb them into submission.

  Yes, you did. And while it's not a positive influence on the world, it's far better than physical occupation. There are countries that had a chance to compare the two, and you might note that most of them are currently in NATO - because their population wanted it. But if you want to seek redemption, helping a nation pushing back against another, even more brutal empire trying to bomb it into submission seems like a perfect chance, no?

    > it's far better than physical occupation. We did that too. We invaded and occupied Iraq for 20 years and just recently left. Same for Afghanistan. We're still in northern Syria, illegally. So the point stands - we have no credibility on this issue.
