This is how egotistical we are that we think the world needs Daddy America to tell them what to do and how to live their lives. Make way for freedom police.
God forbid people are allowed to shape their countries themselves. God forbid that they define themselves on principles other than our own and maybe challenge our economic dominance.
I know it's a difficult to swallow, but the US is the villain of the world
Did you read my other post? I said it doesn't matter if it is us or someone else but somoen needs to police the world. If no one is going to do it, then maybe next time WW3 could happen. Also do you really want other countries to commit genocide among their people? We do what we do because without us, true evil will spread. We don't know what real war is like. If a WW3 happens i am pretty damn sure it will go global. meaning it will come to our soil, if we do nothing. I agree that we haven't always done good and sometimes done horrible things. Maybe we shouldn't police the world anymore. Maybe another nation like china should take over. But one thing is clear. As of right now, we are all the world has.
So how about I ask you something instead and ill listen to your side of the story. Why should we leave these nations? Why should we pull out and go back into isolationism? What would be the benefits to the world of doing such a thing? What will it change?
The intent is to allow nations to develop themselves the way they want. Free of foreign powers trying to intervene.
If they genocide their own people, that is honestly up to them. It's not up to us. We should intervene if they try to go to war with other countries.
The reason we should go isolationist is that this was the US at its peak. 1900 we were isolationist. We had a small government, no federal taxes, we were free.
WW1 changed everything. We used the wealth we built up into a strongarm government and made the world a worse place.
