Claiming the US was not immensely offensive before WW2 is laughable Even in the 19th century when they colonised plenty countries and took control from from Britain or Spain,…
And this in the most brutal way.
It was the period where they gained the most land and influence.
“the people” or their opinion has nothing to do with it and they could’t give a shit about what they mistrust or not.

The US didn’t have a large standing military or budget for it. This matters.

  In the 1860’s they surpassed the size of the British navy.
  And in case you didn’t know leeching of colonies and slaves is a lucrative.
