I probably differ with your view of the war mongering. Sure the west has begun wars which it should not have, but it's also been in wars which it had every right to be, and the war machine of manufacturing is vital to supply that. Look at Putin and Ukraine, if it not for the Yanks war business there would be zero aid to stop Putin's invasion. Xi would be all over Taiwan by now, and probably wouldn't stop there. We cannot allow the crazy dictators of the world to do as they please, which usually involves invasions. The West established the Israeli State, whether it was a wise decision or not can be debated, but it's all they have and it needs to be defended. If not for the U.S backing it would've been burnt from the face of the earth decades ago. It's the US war industry which keeps aggressors at bay, as has been seen in Ukraine in recent times when aid got held up and Putin made progress. If not for the U.S and it's military as a deterant we could easily be a Chinese State by now or in the very near future..

Of course there is also Mark Twain's famous quote : - the US invented Wars so that Americans would learn Geography. That has quite a lot of merit imo .
