Before I continue reverting @BluePink, we should start looking for a consensus. Are we going to continue slapping this label onto half of our country articles?--Hastur! (talk) 03:25, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

I think it should be attached. In South Korea and Japan, liberals and centrists, as well as social democrats and leftists, recognize the United States as an imperialist country. However, liberals and moderates in South Korea and Japan believe that China and Russia should cooperate with the U.S. because they are also imperialist countries.--BluePink (talk) 04:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Internationally, the U.S. is often perceived as a unilateral hegemonic power. Under that famous "American exceptionalism." The U.S. has done countless acts in nearly two decades that would be internationally condemned and even subject to economic sanctions if other countries did.--BluePink (talk) 04:46, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
I have a antipathy to the cultural extreme conservatism of Northeast Asia. That's why I admire the United States. I honestly think Japan's imperialism was evil, but I don't just think Western imperialism was evil. However, does the U.S. diplomatic side treat other countries equally? The U.S. has always shown itself to be more dominant in dealing with other countries. Wasn't the US foreign policy after the collapse of the Soviet Union aggressive? U.S. neoconservatives' aggressive foreign policy has ironically turned Russia into an far-right, and its Russian far-rights are now sponsoring an alt-right.--BluePink (talk) 04:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Naturally, Russia and China are countries to be kept in check. However, the U.S. has also taken hegemonic steps for countries other than hegemonic powers such as Russia and China, and there are plenty of grounds to base them on.--BluePink (talk) 04:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
