US Imperialism is even more brazen than that. Here's a video of the US President commenting on how US troops are in Syria "only for the oil": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U10p3Tn9V5Y

This is the same guy who suggested injecting disinfectant or "bringing light inside the body" to cure covid. He also continues to lie about his election loss in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Trump is shameful, but he doesn't represent the long history of the US.

"the long history of the US."
You mean, the long history of overthrowing governments, imperialistic wars and debt-trapping entire nations into selling their state-owned assets to US interest groups and funds?
Your memory may be short lived, but there are many of us who know and remember.
And, by the way, China hasn't started invading random countries all over the world...yet.

Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libiya, Syria and about 70% of Latin America.
I spent just 2 minutes for this. I could go on, but you get the picture.

Trump didn't start syria, though. Obama did. In fact (while I don't like trump). AFAICT he is the first president in a very long time to not invade a new country.
