        I’m not sure what you think this is a source for, but it is definitely not “invading your neighbors and no one cares”

          “invading your neighbors and no one cares”

          At the onset of the 20th century, the United States shaped or installed governments in many countries around the world, including neighbors Hawai`i, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

              Hawaii was a kingdom before annexation.

              I am not the author of the Wikipedia article but pretty sure (s)he was talking about some kind of maritime borders as “neighbor”, you are free to correct it if that is fake.
