The problem is, the US has been finding time and time again that none of these proxies are trustworthy in the long run, ever since 9-11. Once they've served their purpose and done their job in a particular conflict, they soon tend to degenerate and become a thorn in the ass rather than an asset - and unfortunately, there's no way to just order them to disarm and dismantle voluntarily. That's a classic example of good intentions leading to bad results, thanks to short-sightedness in the strategy-making process. The US either consistently fails to notice the pattern, or its leaders just don't care about the outcome that much.
That's the problem basically, yep. Well laid down.
