The USA has "inherited" the Brezhnev-Doctrine, says last US Ambassador to Soviet Union, Jack Matlock. As one of the men who negotiated the Cold War to an end, Ambassador Matlock talks in a candid interview about how the USA has been using regime-change operations systematically and without remorse ever since the USSR has officially stopped doing so and how the motivations for those changes are-as as they were for the USSR-a matter of ideology. To spread "the liberal world order" the USA today would go further than its old rival.

And another very pointed remark by him: jackmatlock.co...
Ambassador Matlock was born in 1929, educated at Duke and Columbia Universities, he entered the Foreign Service in 1956 and went all the way to become US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-91 with his duties in Moscow ending only months before the dissolution of the country itself. He was famously working with President Reagan and Bush Senior to end the Cold War which he keeps emphasising happened due to mutual agreement and good diplomacy, not because of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
