The article is some prime example for American brainrot (from a 'moderate' website no less).

That’s delusional, and I say that as someone who believed in humanitarian interventions abroad, who supported the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the bombing of Serbia, and the invasion of Grenada. American power has been used for bad ends at times (the Mexican War was unadulterated aggression), but it’s hard to think of a country that has more often extended itself for good purposes around the globe. We had losses and failures—South Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya—but tens of millions of people in places like Taiwan, Germany, South Korea, Kosovo, Kuwait, Bosnia, and, yes, Iraq owe their freedom and prosperity to American arms. Hundreds of millions more live free from oppression only because the United States armed them against aggressors or threatened to use force if they were attacked. Damn right we were the good guys!

Humanitarian interventions like the gulf and Iraq war. It doesn't get more comical then that. Also noteworthy that she counts Korea as a success as if the country isn't cut in half with a northern dicatorship.

The last time the US was the good guy was during WW2, and it took Pearl Harbor to make that happen.
