And every country big enough to matter meddles in other countries governments to some extent. That's not terrorism either. I'm pretty sure the British government did what it could to prevent Trump's election.

The use of military power to influence, kill and further political agendas in foreign land is in fact terrorism. By your countries definition.

Just so we're clear, you're saying using your military makes you a terrorist. Whether offensively or defensively, war is an effort influence and further political agendas. Using that argument, every country in history is a terrorist.

Are all those countries that assisted the US in Iraq and Afghanistan also terrorists?

Trump is the one standing up for Israel, Japan, and South Korea. 

As long as America hold all the cards, people will always want to be our ally. You need to get out of the belief that we should do things for others and not Americans.
