"We should intervene in misbehaving countries" vs. "we must respect other countries sovereignty" is never such an easy decision as the cartoon puts it.

In the end of Black Panther, Wakanda becomes an imperialistic power.

... because they build outreach centers?

Have you seen things like that built around in your country?

Imperialism is about resource and labor extraction, unless they're using those outreach centers to destroy local markets so the people have to work on the plantations for pennies to scrape by, so Wakanda can buy bananas for cheap, I don't see how it's imperialism.

Or is Wakanda gonna go back to Plan A and use those outreach centers to influence elections/organize a coup and put in a comprador government?
