It was long justified as a War on Communism, but it never stopped when Communism fell, it then revealed itself as little more than an attempt to quash a potentially competitive rival power, along with the new "Freedom and Democracy" and "Rules Based Order" sloganeering for global US hegemony, one unique empire standing alone in the rubble of previous and attempted future empires by others. The "hegemonic" era began in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and appears to be ending about now, hopefully not in global ashes or civilizational collapse, though the latter is likely soon anyway due to global heating and similar problems of irresponsible growth and militarism.
