The US doesn't protect anyone. If the US were actually interested in defense, rather than empire, the military bases overseas would be closed, rather than manned in 170 countries, of which, what, 2 are "at war" with the US? The "rendering massive aid" is also misconstrued. It has nothing to do with the government of the US, it has to do with the last dregs of what was a vigorous economy. While the US government redirects some of its blood-money taxes to "aid" in quantities of "$millions", the individual citizens of the US donate "$Billions" to various charitable efforts around the world. By simple scale, the US government is ineffectual in its supposedly "positive" efforts. The destruction and death is many, many times greater by government action than its paltry "aid", and that "aid" always is paid not to individuals or voluntary organizations, that "aid" is given to whatever government proports to be the lawful one in that geographic area. So the "aid" actually lines the pockets of petty dictators, rather than feeding/housing/nursing anyone. If you want to have a positive effect, the first thing to do is get government out of the way. Might does not make right.
