I'm not sure this is an accurate assessment of US foreign policy in any period. I'm sort of scratching my head to think of any significant US interventions that weren't self-serving. Beyond the original Manifest Destiny expansionism, there's a rich tradition of US fillibusterism[1], gunboat diplomacy, proxy wars, banana dictators, coups, support of the drug trade, the list goes on, and on, and on.
