Some of these events were egregious and deserve condemnation but tbh 56 "events" in the span of 59 years doesn't seem all that bad. It's not like they've conquered any of them. Even the Panama Canal was treated as working relationship and eventually the US pulled out of operating it.
US Military Bases are all over the world because those actually do stabilize the regions against outside threats. Without them, some of these smaller nations would not exist today.
