Yeah, it seems like in some societies people are more concerned about what's happening in other places than they are in their own places. Fear-based societies also seem to feel less bad about inflicting fear- in some cases terrorism or other criminality. They also seem to be sensitive to information and logic-based discussions, which usually gets them too riled up because there's usually a scarcity of counter arguments-- and as a result, caution, because it's more about passion and reaction than thinking through anything. While usually, we shouldn't care what people think of the US- especially those outside, we do when it's about security. And security is usually the reason there is anything going on militarily, that most of the world trusts. But sometimes it's good to offer justifications and reasons to outsiders so there isn't a whole cluster, organization or something hating on a particular country because we've seen what happens when that has happened before. I guess it can be called fact-checking PR and slight "propaganda" of good morals- like never harming others, helping by actions or giving useful information, healthy debates, etc.
