What's the actual difference? You end up at the same place with either one.

but all they really care about is money and influence.

Correct.

That is why they maintain American imperialism.

Such as funding a genocide in the middle east.

You cannot convince the rich and powerful that it's politically unfavourable when it's economically favourable to do genocide.

They don't care about what people want. They care about what they want, and that's US imperialism.

This feels like trying to explain to someone that you can have 2 different infinities, and one is larger than the other. Both are bad, but one is clearly worse.

"What's the difference if you end up at the same place?"

The difference is that 2 genocides is not the same place as 1 genocide. It is reasonable to criticize the people supporting a genocide while at the same time recognizing that the people wanting more genocides are not the same.
