I never said the U.S. is beneficial to EVERYONE. Walp is asking how it is benefiting ME.
Second, if it wasn't the U.S. doing it, someone else would. We have had god knows how many discussions where I have pointed it out.
The PRC wants to turn Taiwan into an explosion fest if we weren't around to stop them. The Kims would LOVE, to forcefully unite both the Koreas, much like the original Kim did when he invaded S. Korea. Putin HIMSELF,in a speech, lamented the fall of the SU and wished things were status quo/aka all those free countries back under SU control. The U.S. isn't all bad.
Also it is called competition. If the U.S weren't doing it, someone else would.
NATO essentially frees up tons of money for countries to spend on their social program. Do I see Euroforce showing up anytime soon? Highly doubtful. If Europe wanted Euroforce, they would have done it by now.

A warzone isn't exactly beneficial for multi-national businesses and defense contractors are not the only people who want to do business. I am sure Coke, Nike, McDonalds, would love to open businesses in a non, war torn country. I never could stomach that infinite war conspiracy theory. If anything, we are fighting because Russia and China just won't play second fiddle to us and have to compete.
