All my life as a leftist I hated war and Americans influence around the globe. Conservatives bashed me about how it was absolutely necessary or the tyrants of the world would go around being tyrants.
I used to think "lets take a gamble and see if that's true!" But, now that Im older, I can see how maybe the conservatives are right.
Part of me wants to be isolationlist becuase I do believe the world wont fall into disrepare if we were more like New Zealand with our international policy.
But I really dont know, I really do think that if america just up and pulled itself out of these issues, that russia and china would replace us, and that would mean very bad things for people down the road. I could be wrong but, I do believe culturally that imposing democracy on people is probubly better than imposing communism, dont you think?
I do think it's a 1 or the other thing, there is no "both sides decide to let everyone keep their borders"
IDK
I just dont know about this one. But I do think allies is what really kept us out of ww3 in the 70sd and 80s and we're losing those fast.
