We've been fighting a proxy war in Syria, we destroyed Libya and turned the most functional country in Africa into a failed state and opened the floodgates for mass migration into Europe, we've been drone bombing Pakistanis for decades now, spent years in Afghanistan propping up the opium poppy farmers among other things, and we destroyed Iraq and left it so disfunctional that they couldn't even fight off ISIS.

To modify a quote from Tacitus, "Wherever America goes, it creates a desolation and calls it 'freedom'".
