> the people you're trying to educate don't have the same values as you, and they don't really see American intervention into local affairs as benevolent and virtuous.

Compare all the recent outrage caused by media stories that put the words "Facebook" and "Russia" in the single sentence. Messing with social media of another country is fun until you find yourself on the receiving end, then suddenly it's scandalous.

technically that happened ~10 years before the cold war ended. at that time, both sides were understood to be engaged in various less-than-friendly activities.

post-cold war happenings are things worth focusing on, imo.
