The US literally stole a whole kingdom just to save money on sugar taxes. It started when
American planters staged a coup in Hawaii to dodge tariffs, kicking out Queen
Liliuokalani. But we didn't stop there. Yellow journalism hyped up a war with
Spain, and after the USS Maine exploded, we took Puerto Rico and Guam.
We promised the Philippines freedom, then turned around and fought a brutal war against them
when they actually tried to be independent. Then Teddy Roosevelt just manufactured a fake revolution
in Panama to build his canal. We went from isolationism to world police by speaking softly
and carrying a massive stick.
