This was not a defense of the USA you braindead idiot. I did not offer "feeling threatened" as an excuse for the USAs behaviour. The USA is threatened by the mere existence of successful countries that are not hypercapitalist (although tbf the tool used in this case is usually a coup, rather than bombs).

Not all countries consider the same things to be threats.
