I agree w you, terry.
Strange as it seems, the exploitive american tactics did have mostly positive end results in japan, europe, and a few other places. In latin america, it's questionable. It was a process of breaking old societal systems, and introducing new capitalist systems that serve america first, but also open that country to serve and be served by the outside world. Interestingly, this is similar to what england did in numerous countries, while it was in the empire stage. Rome did much the same to europe for over a millenium. Then, there is alexander the greek. This analysis is a look at the positive side of the conquering and exploitation among the top monkey race on this planet. Further, the above described process has helped to interlink the various tribes and counties. In short, one could say it has helped develop civilization on the planet. Brutal, ruthless methods. But then, that's how we are.

Another way of saying it is like this. Evolutionary pressures drive survival to optimum. The weakest links in both men and institutions dissolve under pressure from more highly organized groups.
The most adaptable s trategy prevails. The weaker of the strategies may hang on in niches until they can no longer survive by isolation.
Egypt reigned supreme as a world power for a long time simply because natural barriers isolated it from competition and maurading. But, when the "People from the sea" were technologically able to arrive with chariots; the Egyptian pre-eminence collapsed.
The American "Indian" had the continent in pristine seclusion until Europeans arrived. Native Americans never progressed technologically beyond the Stone Age. It was ripe for a fall. The historical revisionism of the late 70's and 80's are largely mythic. The tribes used women and slave labor to fuel their subsistance.
