>Right now that is an equally apt description of the US, China, Russia...

American exceptionalism isn't just an observed phenomenon, its something that's openly discussed here by our politicians. We're not that good at self-examination which is why you can have leading figures in the Administration openly trying to bring down an elected President in Venezuela so that they can install their own hand picked one and claim its 'restoring democracy'.

The difference between the US and China and Russia is that the latter two countries have a sense of national purpose and government policies that enable that purpose. The US has to resort to slogans because there isn't any coherent policies. (Brazil I'd class differently -- its current government appears to be a bunch of murderous gangsters -- its at war with sections of its people which isn't a very good way to try to run a society.)
