you could've just completely skipped a bunch of wars, coups, and general bad behavior and probably ended up with allies anyway but we didn't in order to appease countries we demonstrably had the ability to kick around in e.g. the Suez Crisis

the US letting the communists carry the banner of decolonization is maybe *the* geopolitical own goal of the cold war
Vietnam? yeah, totally. we dropped a bunch of bombs, killed a bunch of people, and it was totally pointless because we ended up allied with the government of communist Vietnam in the long term because Vietnam's biggest problem is always China

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
