The US does meddle a lot with other countries, but the main motive IMHO is usually either to further some misguided ideological program or to keep Americans safe (kind of like how Russia's interference in Ukraine these days is motivated by a desire to keep Russians safe in future decades) not to extract wealth.
- FredPret 2y agoThe poor world simply does not have enough wealth / resources / GDP to “supply” the rich world, especially the US, with its ridiculous levels of wealth so that argument falls flat right out the gate. US meddling is, as you say, a function of them already having a ton of money and trying to use it to pursue their foreign policy.
- aguaviva 2y ago(kind of like how Russia's interference in Ukraine these days is motivated by a desire to keep Russians safe in future decades) Well, that's the motivation it pretends/claims to have in any case. But you're right in that its pretenses/delusions are very similar to the US's in this regard.
