> That's one way to phrase it. Viewed from a different angle, the US loved competing in proxy wars against the USSR, continues fighting proxy wars against Russia (currently in Syria) and destabilizes the middle east to keep contracts for it's defense industry coming You think that other NATO countries - the UK, France, and others - didn't support these as well? It's not like the US is going into Syria against the wishes of France and the UK - both have sent in their own forces as well, coordinating military strikes along with the US. It's extremely hypocritical for people from NATO and MNNA countries to criticize the US for military actions that their own countries backed, especially the ones that they are themselves actively involved with.
