If by forces you mean general cooperation then yes it is beneficial. The more countries peacefully coexist and help each other on issues such as the current virus outbreak or political issues such as war and peace, the better the world.
If countries are allied and have mutual agreements and respect for international law, there is less chance of conflict and more peace around the world. In theory organizations like the United Nations (UN) are suppose to support this, but are too weak or one sided (dominated by the U.S.) in practice.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help or tutoring.

I agree with this answer in principle. However, I don't neccessarily agree that international organizations such as the UN (United Nations) are dominated by the US. For example, during the Cuban Missle Crisis, our ambassador to the UN, Adlai Stevenson adroitly demonstrated Soviet agression and brinksmanship when the Soviets placed operational nuclear weapons in the unstable nation of Cuba led by Castro in 1962. Soviet aggression and brinksmanship was brought to the attention of the entire world and war was circumvented by the US in large part predicated by the presentation we put on at the UN in this time of crisis. We denonstrated the instability and danger of their action in the court of world public opinion. The UN has not always been succesful and able to prevent the catastrophe of genocide as occured in Cambodia or Bosnia, but for the most part the US has played a steady hand and acted in concert with other nations in this body.04/17/20
