Without supporting the bad performing governments out there, America would not have the long steps it has now.
Good offense is a good defense; and the control over the board requires support of any pieces even if they don't have the right colors.
But real life isn't chess; and supporting other governments can be as public as Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, or as covert as Sykes-Picot treaty.
That dashing ability is not even imaginable without supporting dictators and terrorists.
It's more of a common sense to gain power on a scale that covers an empire. But there is always decline; gaining power the wrong way has fatal side effects.
