    No , the US should have a foreign policy according to the values that it supposedly adheres to.....instead , it's trying to play catch up with China , while the media prevents the American people from knowing how fast they are falling behind......and China keeps surging ahead , regardless of anything the US is trying to do to prevent it. America would get far more global respect , if it simply started looking after it's people , instead of abusing them as though they don't even matter . If things don't change , the international community will have to intervene in the US , in the interests of the American people , to protect them against their own inept regime .

    Most of the US's biggest problems would evaporate if they stopped interfering in the affairs of other sovereign states.

    The US is still the leader in everything.
    China's numbers are only created by the size of it's population.

    Biden seeks to change that.

    US foreign policy is nothing more than a racket meant to line the pockets of big banks, weapons dealers, and other war profiteering industries. One of the few things Trump did right was to point this out, though he failed to actually do anything about it.

    There is a split among libertarians. Some believe in a minimalist federal government while some believe in having no federal government at all.

    Usually when you engage in a military action the goal is to win. What exactly is the definition of winning in the middle east? Half the time we don't know who the enemy is. Quite a lot of those that we are fighting now we were once arming. I find it pretty awful to put our children in harms way with no clear definition of what they are doing there, the objective and who the enemy is.

    The only thing the US is leading in , is failing at dealing with the global pandemic , and maybe at baseball.

    I've never encountered a poster more triggered by America than this clown.

    No Federal government would mean no country.

    I agree with a greatly reduced Federal Government.

    Foreign Policy does not mean having to dole out money or sell arms, but you always have allies and natural enemies. No country can play ostrich.
