It’s not edgy, it’s realistic and uncomfortable.
Literally the only Force that isn't worse than the US is the EU. As long as they don't want to step up and take the Mantle, the US "defending its Interests" and spreading democratic Values across the globe is the best Thing that can happen.
Do you think that the US defending its interests in Ukraine and helping them is a bad Idea? Or that defending their Interests in Taiwan and helping them is a bad Idea? Or did you think that the US ousting the Taliban and giving Girls an Education and Future was a bad Idea? Or that defending global Shipping from Houthi-Terrorism is a bad Idea?
stop with this edgy "America Bad" Mentality. It is not representative of our world.
Weren't the Afghan Taliban backed by the US in a proxy war against the Soviets?
This is somewhat of a myth by exageration, the US supported the mujahideen, people seem to equate the Taliban and the mujahideen but only a small subset of them became the Taliban, a good number of them would become the Northen Alliance who would resist the Taliban. And it must be said while the US had been the masters of imperialism lately that's no excuse for Soviet imperialism
