The USA hasn't taken territory since 1946.

The major reason for the USA being so broken is due to deregulation and corporate greed. Which is a little different in nuance to Authoritarian China.

The US doesn't try. It just bombs the fuck out of anyone worth exploiting production of anything any private exploitator willing to play "business" there wants.

The ol' "Bomb it to glass" tactic. A classic tragedy.

Ghastly business, that. Unavoidable, really, and tragic. Anyways, here's our top stories tonight: the US kills its own population with the most potent designer drugs in history, at a 0% tax revenue! "This is great for the economy", according to Experts, who warn that the same measures would be "devastating" under Democratic rule.

"Um, technically when we lost all those wars for profit and oil, we didn't seize any land. So, technically, we are the good guys."

Compared to the dictatorship who are in the process of seizing land and committing genocides on their (according to them) own peoples, yes the USA are fucking saints. See this is my exact problem, two bad things are not equivalent but so many people fail to grasp that.
