Episode 6. Based on V.Fadeev's book "Transforming Humanism". Woodrow Wilson vs Ivan the Terrible

Series of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society of the Russian State University for the Humanities based on Valery Fadeev's book "Transforming Humanism". Episode 6 The decisions that politicians make and on which the lives of millions, hundreds of millions of people depend, are they rational or not? It is common to see the US interfering in the affairs of other countries, up to and including military interventions. In the 20th century there were more than 50 such interventions. Recent examples are Iraq and Libya. Did the US want to destroy the social and political systems of Iraq and Libya? On the one hand, the Americans are solving practical problems of current politics. But on the other hand, their foreign policy has very solid, very serious, far-reaching moral foundations. The US foreign policy ideology is built on these grounds. And the core of these moral foundations is American exceptionalism, the concept of which began to take shape in the 19th century. Americans believed that they had built the best society and the best political system in the history of mankind, and had the moral right to tell everyone else how to live. Now the weapon of freedom is the main tool for promoting American ideas, the American way of life, the promotion of liberty. And any power that disagrees with the position of the United States must be destroyed. It is called despotic. And which power will be called despotic is determined by the United States itself.
