It's not actually possible to be excessively critical of the US empire. There's a common notion that there needs to be some kind of "balance" between criticism of the US power alliance and its enemies. No there doesn't; the US government is objectively far worse than any other.
Criticizing the US empire far more than its rivals IS balance; criticizing it the same as you'd criticize US-targeted governments is what would be imbalanced, because the US and its allies are far, FAR more murderous and destructive than anyone else. It SHOULD be criticized more.
You're not being impartial if you pretend the US is as bad as China, Russia, Iran, etc; you're being heavily biased in favor of the US, because you're greatly helping to advance the interests of the far worse government by placing it on equal footing with the others.
You see so many dry, elitist wankers acting like they're fair and impartial by treating all governments equally, when in reality they're being anything but. All governments are NOT equal; one is clearly and demonstrably far, far more destructive than any of the others.
