And it has come at the cost of half the world hating our guts, many refusing to do business with us and constant erosion of trusting United States institutions and companies.
There are many debts to counter and credits the CIA has gained. It would be very difficult to do the math, but just having a few more stable democracies would likely have made us all richer by enabling greater trade.
