Cutting to the chase, the cartoon heroics that the US projects on its own core populace conflict with the cynically mercenary reality that much of the rest of the world rightly perceives. We have gotten away far too long with being assholes outside our own borders. And inside.
I think that is actually a bit excessively reductive. The mistake is not in assuming US intervention is fundamentally moral or amoral, but in assuming it is fundamentally effective. When, in fact, the United States typically has very little leverage, good or bad, overseas.
That is a typically excellent response and in most circumstances I would cheerfully accept the Mortschlag. But I was and am filtering this topic in terms of optics. And in terms of optics, we possess immense leverage both here and abroad. Global popular culture reacts to our own.
It is also moments like this that remind us the US is not a true empire, despite casual use of the term.
