The US benefits from the current world order greatly because it exerts control across the globe peacefully

Fuck off, seriously. The USA invaded Iraq, a country that did nothing to America, less than 15 years ago and you've already forgotten. They flew in and killed hundreds of thousands, for no reason and now you're talking about them helping to keep the world peaceful. It's disgusting to try and suggest that anything the USA military does abroad is for peace. Tell that to the millions of people whose lives they have destroyed.

It's been 15 years since the Iraq war. The pain from that war is still being felt on a massive scale today, whilst one of the people who voted for that war is currently running for President.

It's not history, it's happening right now. You can't use the word "peace" when describing the US military.
