Maybe the region doesn't need US leadership ... just a thought ...
- 02020202 6y agothe entire world would benefit greatly if there would be NO USA involvement anywhere ever again.
- jimbob45 6y agoSomehow, this has become a controversial opinion. Trump had a hands-off policy to foreign affairs except where America was directly involved (tariffs, etc). I couldn’t believe that his policies were voted down this month. I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden/Harris lands us in another Vietnam for some other moral mandate. We went to Vietnam under the pretense of stopping Communism. Just replace Communism with slavery, climate change, sexism, and it becomes plausible based on his rhetoric.

Besides, If you survey the country about the US role in the world I’m sure many people would say they would like the US to be world leader. I personally disagree but not everyone does.
- jimbob45 6y agoI don’t disagree with your implication though. Even if there had been WMDs in Iraq, it would still be a case of US interventionism, which I am opposed to as previously indicated.
