It's not the Americans that want the war. It's the American politicians that know they can't get re-elected without it.

I was more suggesting that America inserts itself into other countries conflicts sometimes with benevolent intentions, other times not so much.

Either way America never seems to see a war it doesn’t like.

It's kind of how the DoD defense plan works. Bases all over every continent so that the US can fight Russia and China from someone else's yard. It also incidentally protects those other countries.
