I dislike American intervention as much as the next guy. And yes, I'm an American. But again, don't complain and blame us when things go downhill. Lots of us don't want to see our taxes being wasted on another country when we have plenty of our own problems back home.
Oh yeah, don't expect us to take in immigrants when things in said country go down the shitter either if you have this attitude.
America intervenes/interferes with the affairs of other nations because it is America's perceived best interest to do so.
The US went to to war with Japan because Japan attacked the US. No choice. Germany declared war on the US. Until that time , America's policy had ben isolationist, and probably would have remained so.
Since 1950, the US has been almost continuously involved in overseas conflict due to its basic gunboat diplomacy.
The most egregious interference was Vietnam. The US went because of its fatuous domino theory about the spread of communism. Had the US stayed out of Vietnam, the result would have almost certainly been the same, but without the level of Vietnamese deaths and of course, no US deaths.
Without US involvement in WW 2, Australia wold probably have have fallen to Japan, and the map of Europe would probably be very different.
I'm most pleased at how things worked out. However, nations never go to war on thee basis of moral values. They go to war because it is in their perceived best interest or because they are given no choice , as was was the case with WW2
