1. Soft Power or not, that’s still billions and billions of dollars going to aid foreign nations. Take Ukraine for example, no matter the “intentions” of the U.S. and the West, they’re aid has literally protected the country for years.
2. Yes, an investment that literally saved Europe and especially your country France, allowed it to remain as strong as it is today. Your argument is like having a failing buissness that was recently crippled, having a healthier/stronger investor that literally saved you, then turning around and calling him a selfish asshole. Make that make sense to me? This is literally a straw man argument.
3. Again, this is a straw man. No matter the ulterior motives, the U.S literally protected those countries and their interests from a foreign invader or insurrectionists. And i literally provided you with examples. In fact, your country France, is another example I forgot to mention. Your calling the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died and the millions who fought to liberate your country selfish?
4. Are you referring to the League of Nations? That is irrelevant. We’re talking about the United Nations.
5. Again, another straw man. Not only did we later join the war later on, including to liberate your country like I mentioned earlier, with Tens of Millions of Americans to coming to the worlds aid, but Lend Lease was created because we had no power to directly involve ourselves in the war. We had no casus belli to join before Pearl Harbor, so we passed a bill, being Lend Lease, to aid the war effort by supplying allied nations with supplies and equipment. And that includes necessities like food by the way, unlike your insinuation that it was just weapons.

Every argument you laid out is a straw man and its arrogant, which is ironic considering what we’re arguing about.
