    Okay then, to answer your question: because all US policy has been built on slavery and genocide and theocratic authoritarianism for centuries, and has been trying to control the rest of the planet through forced hegemony since 1945 while trying to eliminate all the curbs on aforementioned abuses since 1980 (and arguably 1973, when Biden took office to join in the fascist backlash). Also. The whole world decided that an expansionist Russia and a fascist Germany were a bad thing but the US is desperately trying to reverse this. So yes, the US should be shat upon relentlessly and with extreme prejudice.
