Literally only USA ever thought USA was the good guys

[-] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 39 points 5 days ago

Ehhhh, we had a perception as the big damn heroes after tipping the scales in WW2 and then with the founding of the UN, being the only member state that wasn't devastated by WW2, positioning us as the de facto enforcer. There was some very limited good work done in that context that got good press in Europe. But we were also overthrowing democratic south American nations nonstop during that time... And everything since....

There have been times that others thought we were the good guys, but they were probably just wrong.

The USSR did most of the heavy lifting, though. But it's true that without US military aid and intelligence, the USSR might not have fared as well in WW2.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
