That describes most nations or polities going back to prehistory. It's unfortunately not the part of America's power projection that is unique.

You mean state, not nation.

Anyway the part that makes the us unique is pretending to be ethical, which makes a farce of the entire concept of ethics. Admitting the entire concept of america is based on justification via violence would be a massive step forward
