You repeat the self-serving propaganda of the US as a charity. ("We spy on you to protect you!") When you say "If a Japan in shambles was the goal", that is a non-sequitur, because I explicitly said Japan is "doing reasonably ok because we let it". So being in shambles would not be the goal. This is an example of mechanically quoting arguments we're told to believe. If you'd like to learn more about post-WWII US planning, simply look up the Marshall Plan and George Kennan.
