I agree. American misadventures in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have eroded the American peoples appetite for intervention. But there is somethings to be said for being the arsenal of democracy and defenders of a liberal world order. If we don't defend a LWO, we will sit and watch as illiberal dictators carve up the world and subjugate its people. Maybe thats okay if we save money and don't risk becoming the bad guy ever.

- rayiner 2y agoAll of those disasterous mistakes were justified in terms of defending “a liberal world order.” Look in the mirror—you’ve become a Reagan Republican now. You’ve embraced the same disasterous ideology of liberal universalism.
