The premise is a common mkistake, though, one that is continuously encouraged by our states and media. From there, we always get the "difference in ideology!" narratives, the "different religions, different cultures" as a source of conflict. that's a canard, it always was.

Your point would profit, actually, from recognition of what's going on: because it's -directly- about the money system, not indirectly over the hinge of culture.

If you look at actual wars, they're wars fought on material grounds: for interests of empire, mostly in the last hundred years. The vast majority of wars was started by the US as a means to expand, protect, and prevent the deterioration of its business model. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, the hundreds of "interventions" deposing goverbments in South America, none of them had anything to do with ideology or religion or culture. Now Russia and China. They were about money and trade. Pretty much all of them.

The US' power position in the world hinges on the circle of dollar dominance, printing unlimited amounts of dollars for free, and forcing the world to use dollars in international trade, which means that they get to export these dollars for resources they thus get for free. The other countries, in turn, were forced to deliver them for a resource worth objectively 0: the US dollar. Toilet paper the US makes the world use for trade.

The US' system is the definition of a free lunch demanded by a bully. All the countries in the list were attacked because they were in the process of leaving the US-dominated imperial system, selling their resources and buying their imports in currencies other than the dollar. Since the US produces almost nothing itself, its wealth depends on this dollar-based extortion system. A cascade reaction where other countries see that they can get away from this extortion system and can maybe stop delivering all their resources and work force to US companies for toilet paper would destroy the US as it exists now.

So they hit everyone who even gets close. This covers the vast majority of wars in the post-WW2 era; the US has bombed 33 countries since the end of WW2, and that's not counting the other inventions, coups, covert ops, etc. Vastly more than all other nations combined.
