US was supposedly well intentioned in a lot of countries that are now in chaos.
Good luck finding a conflict where the US wasn't poking around before it started.

I get it, it's funny, but US destroyed so many unnecessary lives it;s not really. Im in favor of a strong US as a leading power of the World, instead of China or Russia, but there needs to be a lot more accountabliity.
The Cold War saw the U.S. and USSR take geopolitical positions with global remit. There is no conflict where either “wasn’t poking around before it started” because there was no place either wasn’t. In some cases, e.g. the banana republics, we can clearly trace causation to one party. Sudan is more complicated: there is a mix of foreign interests, some American-aligned, some not.
The conflicts we hear the least about tend to be those we were least involved in. Myanmar. Tigray. Whatever the fuck South Africa is currently up to.
