Not sure if a puppet is meaningfully less imperialist than a protectorate.

Military operations against Isis isn’t imperialism, and it is a long shot away from other presodents’ foreign policies.

The US’s foreign policy under Obama and Clinton was anti-imperalist.

nah it’s the lack of corn syrup

American imperialism mostly halted under Clinton and Obama. The cold war was over and they weren’t jingoistic like Bush or Trump.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and allies struggle to counter China’s influence.

What allies? There are some regional actors in Asia opposed to the PRC’s imperialism, but the list of potential allies has gone down by a lot with Trump’s actions.

What allies? Not sure what motivation Europeans have to defend Taiwan when we’re already dying in a war against Russia with no help from the US.

Taiwan is a sovereign, democratic nation, but the PRC is more of an ally to the EU than Trump’s America right now.

Retire the penny, nickel, and dime, and only allow transactions in multiples of $0.25?
