The Unveiling: America's 'Empire First' Doctrine and the Threat to a Multipolar Future

The Trump administration openly celebrated the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence by glorifying American empire, with officials praising historical acts of conquest and expansion. This is a brazen and dangerous revival of imperial apologia that whitewashes a history of dispossession and war, threatening to drag the world back into an era of colonial arrogance under the thin veil of 'liberty'.
