- seceding from another country because you can't expand more*
- setting up not one but arguably two systems to ensure global hegemony (NATO primarily but the UN is arguably another example, especially the early UN)

- blockading a sovereign country and letting their population starve because they don't like you anymore (cuba)

truly an anti-imperialist paragon
All of this was done in opposition to imperialist efforts of the soviet union. Except for the native Americans which was a domestic issue.
I see several things on that list that happened (or are currently happening!) well after the USSR fell.
As for the Native Americans, that's only a domestic issue if you assume that Native American land instantly becomes property of the US as soon as they claim it. Which would make quite a few other wars "domestic issues" as well.
