Ask AI: Why does the US so often provoke wars in other countries?

The US government has a significant amount of power and influence, both economically and militarily, and often uses these powers and influence to pursue its own foreign policy objectives. In many cases, this means intervening in other countries, sometimes leading to war. The US may intervene in order to protect US interests or to support allies, to maintain global stability, to fight terrorism and extremism, or to spread democracy and human rights. Ultimately, the US government makes decisions about foreign interventions based on what it believes is in its national interests.
