America’s founders warned against becoming an Empire. But after WW2, America suddenly became a superpower and US elites went nuts. A staggering 80% of all the global conflicts and wars since WWII involved the USA.

Here's a good one:
1979 - 1989: Used Saddam Hussein to wage proxy war against Iraq.
Oh really? Is there an editor in the house? Saddam Hussein was President of Iraq at that time. The target was Iran.
Significantly, both Israel and Washington were secretly arming both sides during the Iraq/Iran war. This was done to increase causalities on both sides.
Speaking of Israel, the US has been arming Israel, sending aid to Israel, and waging diplomatic war on Israel's behalf since LBJ. Nixon/Kissinger also secretly sent arms to Israel during the 1973 War. Why was this glaring fact overlooked? Hmm. This secret military intervention tipped the balance in favor of Israel during this historic conflict.
It's worth noting that the US has been lavishly and unconditionally supporting Israel for the past 50+ years. There's nothing else like it. It is unprecedented and unequalled. And undeserved.
Too late now as the US is going down, as she has reached the point of no return in corruption. I believe that from now on is BRICS's ball game for the best - A win-win situation with China and Russia at the forefront.
