 * ''Hegemon-splaining

Hegemon-splaining is speaking derisively to others while explaining any aggressive stances taken by- or behavior of- powerful states (hegemons), particularly the United States. Such powerful states use myriad means to project power globally or regionally. Those powerful states are often called upon in multi-lateral & diplomatic fora to explain or justify these policies. When a hegemon state displays insensitivity, myopia, or inflexibility in these contexts, other parties often feel like they are being hegemon-splained to.

One of the most reliable sources for media which promotes fear in a way that aligns with US-hegemon advocates is CBS news (CBS news).
