When Americans talk about freedom, they are almost exclusively talking about the freedoms granted to American citizens by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They are not talking about the sovereignty of other nations, that doesn't factor in at all. Frankly, I think you're doing some robust mental gymnastics by equating those freedoms with a freedom from the long arm of Pax Americana. > The history of the United States is not only steeped in oppression The history of the entire world is steeped in oppression.
