A handful of people have pointed out that the picture on the right usually follows the one on the left and coined the term “colonial boomerang”. In modern contexts, especially referring to the US, “imperial boomerang” is often the term applied. Essentially, foreign policy and tactics find their way home eventually. Or, what your government is willing to do to others, they are willing to do to you.
