[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So depressing as we grind toward WW3.[/quote]

Not defending NATO starts WW3.
Not stopping bullies starts WW3.

Do you think it is acceptable for one country to invade another? For people in one country to just bomb an other? For terrorists to just run wild?[/quote]

Of course not.  Those countries should defend themselves vigorously. Best of luck to them.

My main concern is that the elected leaders of MY country keep my children and my neighbors children away from war zones and people who give a sh*t about their religious claim to land (Israel/Palestine) or their territorial borders from a thousand years or so ago (Russia/Ukraine). Not my circus, not my monkeys.

I have slightly more sympathy to defend Taiwan because we need semiconductors.  But only until we can get out act together to be able to manufacture our own.

It's sad that this needs to be said over and over again. The voices here acting like U.S. foreign policy is altruistic are tiresome. Foreign aid is painted as unavoidable, that without it, the alternative would be catastrophic - but it's all a mirage conjured to keep the funds flowing.

In the most favorable light, our foreign policy is just a corrupt continuation of the Confessions of an Economic Hitman era. In the least favorable light, it's a continuation of the not-quite-dormant racism that has been an essential part of our national identity for the past 250 years.[/quote]
