if things are only right when and where we can win, I guess that changes the landscape for many social, political, legal environments...

I disagree with you. Principled actions in world politics? Better to act in one's own interest. France, Russia, and China might have opposed the US action in Iraq but they didn't send troops to oppose it. Too costly.
Costs and benefits.
One would have to be certified to treat Afghanistan and China the same. They are not the same. They are not treated the same. They shouldn't be treated the same.
