That is one option but if you like having plenty of money and power then it is not really a viable option.
If you actually did stop getting involved in foreign current affairs then it would be the US getting screwed all the time and getting the short end of the stick and you would be whining about us not playing fair.
If the b!tching annoys you why not try the truth…
US State department press release:
Today we have put heavy sanctions on a country in xyz region.
Not for peace or stability… but because we can make more money if we do this, or we want to shore up a failing ally in the region, or because the offending nation refused to buy the surplus weapons we offered and actually had the balls to buy something from someone else that we don’t control yet, or because they have oil and were actually asking a reasonable rate for it instead of the controlled rate we are used to. etc etc.
Speech by US president:
We are not really interested in spreading democracy around the world unless the resulting democracy results in us making more money than we are now.
Despite the “bring us your poor, your downtrodden etc etc” we have 6m fences between Mexico andthe US and nothing between Canada and the US… is it because we don’t like mexicans or because we don’t like poor people?
Damn… I’ve changed subject… I must have run out of bad things to say about the US and the West on that last subject thread…. }> Never! }>
