Think of it more in terms of military power + trigger happiness and less in terms of ideology (good guys and bad guys). Then it might become clearer to you.

While we clearly have the most potential, history suggests that we are not abusing it (well too much). Note that many of those who complain the most are hiding behind the US - when you are in NATO you can sign an anti-landmine treaty with confidence that should they be needed in your country the US will step in and put them down for you. (and if you look at Ukraine today you see why the US doesn't sign those treaties - aweful as they are, in war they work)

The US is literally the reason why many countries haven't fallen into disrepair (Israel, the UAE, Saudi, Ukraine, etc.). It's the reason why global trade flourishes in the Western world but, sure, because they've done bad things in the past, some people can't just help but say they're the worst, and it's oddly always self-loathing Americans..
