There are a lot of countries in South and Central America, where the US overthrew an elected government and supported dictators, that might disagree with the term "benevolent".

The people who were in power when we were the global nuclear hegemon? My point is societies corrupt, and great societies emerge from the corrupted. America before and after was not benevolent. The Americans at the helm during and at the end of WW2 were, as an aggregate, as expressed through our republic, benevolent. (Benevolence doesn’t require faultlessness.)
