"Their own interests" whose interests, exactly? Who benefitted, and who paid the costs, for the wars in the Middle East? The only people who benefitted seem to be oil companies and war profiteers, while ordinary people (including my own family) paid for it in both money and blood.

The interests of your own country's bourgeoisie might align sometimes with those of the American bourgeoisie, but neither align with your people or the American people.

'The united states' has ~0.3b subjects, it is probably closer to a few million beneficiaries/apparatus.
