> Spain [...] (unless you count them allowing US bases as "militarily involved", but that doesn't cause bad blood so doubt it) The USA went to war against Spain on false pretenses, that was more than 100 years ago but not a small thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War#USS_Maine_dispatch_to_Havana_and_loss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War#U... The Wikipedia article presents different sides of the story, and my take is that the USA wanted to carve off the Spanish Empire and would use any excuse for that, a pattern repeated many times. Not that the USA is unique in that. The point is that there are reasons for the rest of the world to resent the USA’s unchecked power, being wielded by small groups in there often to the detriment of the USA’s general population, as is happening now with de-dollarization. The USA and its Western European puppets are becoming a much less reliable partner than we used to be, and the alternatives do not look as bad by comparison as they once did.
