    Look at the several coups and coup attempts in South America, the ongoing pressure on Europe to send weapons to Ukraine and all the rest, and then tell me they aren’t proactive

      You’re right, America has been nothing but ‘proactive’ since the 90’s. I meant proactive financially. in the 70’s, americans threatened to assassinate Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz and topple the saudi royal family if they didn’t sell oil in dollars. I have no doubt America’s foreign policy still has that character, but the question is if it will work again and how it will get involved militarily.
