The "against" section seems to ironically support the United States. It mentions the Mashall plan, how US "stabilized" South Korea and helped Vietnam with humanitarian aid.

Gone too far
The American Imperialism page has actually gone too far in one direction. Whilst this talk page was initially created to speak regarding the softness of the article regarding the topic, the entire article has been revamped in the opposite direction. Thus, it is still not a neutral article. In most other professional and encyclopedic versions of articles I have read on Misplaced Pages, historians are cited occasionally to give a point of view, but in this article it is so cluttered with negative historical views of America's foreign policy, you miss out on the actual informative things. A standard middle school textbook does a better job than the current article, which desperately needs to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.7.66.150 (talk • contribs) 22:41, November 26, 2016 (UTC)

This article seems to make an effort to portray the topic in an as inoffensive light as possible. Instead of a criticism section there is only a "support" section, and the lead glorifies America and its interests in both the words of the "opponents" and the supporters. There is little to no material about the experiences and viewpoints of the countries that were subject to American imperialism. Prinsgezinde (talk) 11:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
The Allies of the United States section belongs on a separate page
The Allies of the United States section belongs on a separate page as it is more general and contemporary than the topic of the American imperialism page itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.92.192.64 (talk) 05:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Neutrality and "Against" section
