They get involved in almost everyone situation that goes on in the world even if it has nothing to do with them. Plus after all America is one of the most hated countries in the world
They're expected to intervene because they're so wealthy. It's a double-edged sword for them - if they get involved, they're guilty of overextending their authoritar; if they don't, they're guilty of idly watching tyrants destroy whole peoples. America can't win.
True, but the timing kinda sent another message. It happened after American diplomats were refused by China, and right after Obama set new economic sanctions on Russia for their role in the Ukraine conflict. Basically, China said "you're not powerful anymore" and Russia said "oh cute, you're going to intimidate us a couple pennies at a time? Here's our reply: we're getting richer!"
