What if that were true?
They don't have the capability the Soviet Union might have had to conquer the world.
There are many other places in the world without pristine human rights records.
I doubt you are advocating launching nuclear missiles.

Therefore accommodations and clear defense of interests are needed.
As in NATO will be defended by the US, but Ukraine won't be. The situation in Syria will be negotiated. That sort of thing.
They have their interests, the US has its. Some interests are vital and could cause war. Other interests can be negotiated.
