meaningless gibberish given that team america is responsible for most of the influence peddling and economic exploitation around the world via its military and fiat currency. you were trying to be funny, yes?
Easy response here.. How many countries that have been involved in direct military conflict with the US, or been an ally of the US in that war, are better off economically than they were when that war started??..
Start ticking them off.. Japan, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand..
The fact is that when the US is put in a position of going to war, in almost every case, afterward, our policies have led to greater governmental accountability, and economic development within the society of our former enemy.
so what is your excuse for team usa's failure to mature?
Who do you think envisioned, created, hosted, and remains a major financial supporter of, the United Nations?? Who do you think still provides the majority of logistical support for the UN?
Hint: It's not China...
China's economy is bigger than that of Japan, yet China only pays 3.2% of UN, while Japan is paying 12.5%.

Yet, China, a non-democratic government, has a permanent seat on the UNSC, while Japan, with 60 years of democratic government AND significant financial contributions, does not.
Not very fair, now is it?
Btw, the US currently pays 22% of the UN budget, despite the fact that we're a debtor nation, while China has $2 Trillion in cash reserves. And that's not counting all the military and other logistical support we provide without any compensation.
So yeah.. I think the US should have some expectation that our interests (which happen to dovetail with most other democratic governments) are protected.
Btw, I can make a convincing case for why China supported Pol Pot based upon Machiavellian principles.
So when you fling your inflammatory "baby-killer" accusations towards the US military, it doesn't provide any evidence of objectivity on your part. This is especially the case when excusing the brutality that have been supported by the Chinese government/military.
But, fundamentally speaking, if Chinese support only enriches the dictators in power, without advancing the standard of living of the general population, one has to question the value of international influence.
