It's like we all decided that imperialism is bad, which it is, so the solution is no one talks about imperial ambitions or power unless it's to insult a bad guy.
So in the US press you might hear Russia call imperialist, but you'll never get an honest discussion of the vectors of American imperial power, this means that US foreign policy is inscrutable to most Americans.
"Why are we giving Ukraine so much money?"
Like we are handing out gift cards, Benjamins and Obama phones.
