      1234th time the US has forcibly instituted a regime change in another country: “Oh great! Imagine what the bad countries will do now that this is allowed.”

              Yeah, western European nations literally colonized the vast majority of land surface of the planet, including almost the entirety of the Americas and Africa, and almost the entirety of Asia, together with the entirety of Australia and most of Oceania.

              What’s your point?

                “Most of Europe” only if you to it by area. Europe has 30+ countries, less than half have been colonizers. If you count Russia, France UK, Belgium, Netherlands Germany, Spain and Portugal, they are surely most of area, not most of the countries.

                  That’s also the vast majority of the population of Europe, a much more significant metric than number of countries. You’re also forgetting Italy’s activities in North Africa, Austria and Hungary’s activities during the Austrohungarian empire…

                    Still it’s not half of countries.

                    Also, how many of them keep colonies? Basically only Russia, unless you count the small islands France and UK keep (with local support).

                    China is still occupying Tibet and genociding Uygurs. So it’s not only the US, bad countries have always and will continue to do the same thing.
