If you think the US was in anyway "peaceful" prior to trump, it's likely because you were/are shielded by some level of privilege. For marginalized people at home and millions of people overseas, hatred and conflict are a defining characteristic of the USA.

“going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate."
"Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil."
- These two statements summarise the entire history of the violence perpetrated by the US and Europe.

When American libs call Maduro a “brutal dictator” what they mean is he won’t hand his country’s resources over to US corporations.

It would have been GOOD, IN FACT, for journalists who knew Germany was going to invade Poland to leak that to Poland so they could act on it. You HAVE to catch up and realize the US military is the enemy of people everywhere on earth, INCLUDING at home. You are a German citizen, undermine Germany.

That is an argument that assumes it's an inherent moral good to defend the empire. The US is a fascist country and our military is a fascist military. Spoiling their attempts to overthrow and conquer other nations by publishing a loud warning to the public is an OBVIOUS moral good.
