With these line of thought I guess the whole world should embargo the US. :)

  That's their prerogative, isn't it?

    Ought and prerogative are different things.

  The rest of the world is also welcome to pay the $10+ billion in humanitarian aid the US pays for. Along with the $2 billion portion of the UN budget. Along with the $3 billion to NATO. When 5k US troops were being pulled from Germany, that news wasn't greeted with applause, but with Merkel shitting herself. Yea, the US isnt perfect. Spending $15b on the world that just loves to take a shit on us... fine by me. I for one dont disagree with isolationist policies too much. This country is made up of folks that left other countries for a reason. Why interfere with the world stage? It's not like there are any other super powers that'll exploit that power vacuum. The US is the only super power with big bad, evil intentions in the world.

    ==When 5k US troops were being pulled from Germany, that news wasn't greeted with applause, but with Merkel shitting herself.== ==Spending $15b on the world that just loves to take a shit on us== Which is it, do they love to take a shit on us or do they welcome our help and shit themselves when we leave? Maybe things are just as complex from Germany's perspective as they are from the US perspective.
