start conquering Mexico and south America.

That's a perfect example of your distorted perceptions and exaggerated language. The US hasn't "conquered" Europe so your analogy fails.

The most strident characterization that could be rationally justified would be that the US has a "heavy" or "outsized presence" there, which would understandably feel uncomfortable to Russia. One can empathize with the discomfort. But the US has no designs on Russia. It's not in our temperament. You are mistaking containment for offensive threat. And even containment would not be necessary but for the offensive threat from Russia.

Re your distorted perceptions, I don't know what has brought you to a Russia-centric view of reality. It's curious for someone to be paranoid on behalf of a foreign country. Perhaps you have an interesting backstory. Perhaps it's your fear of nukes. Perhaps you're just nuts.

Re the exaggerated language, there's never an excuse for abuse of dictionaries.
