it does what it is designed to do. funnel american tax money to arms dealers who supply "freedom fighters" in afganistan, or iraq, or syria, or libia, or wherever, then use their propaganda networks and vague anecdotal "reasoning" to build support for a war to either assist or deter said "freedom fighters" at which point they may turn into "militants" if the easiest sales pitch to the public is that dropping bombs on the people we most recently supplied with weapons is more reasonable.

meanwhile the u.s. has a healthcare system that gets results on par with russia. our kids are the must undereducated in the developed world. we have the most billionaires in the world and the highest childhood poverty rate in the developed world. our cities are dumps. our infrastructure is from the 50's-60's. median wealth per adult...lol. turns out, when you look at facts and numbers instead of beliefs, we're actually not very good at running a country. median wealth for an adult in Australia is five times what it is in the u.s. isn't that incredible? who knew? only people who care about reality i guess. keep watching the news on your TV.
