I hope not and that any attempts fail. It would represent a net loss of freedom instead of a net gain. Despotic countries like China would gain undeserved legitimacy with nobody to rightfully repel them.
Then again, it doesn't help that some would rather help develop the PRC for their 30 pieces of silver. While it is their choice to do so, they act without knowing the full consequences of their actions.
If it means we can become some backwater republic that is forgotten about amongst the world with fewer immigrants, asylum seekers, and interlopers, there might be merit to this.
No thanks, but I'll pass on throwing away the last 60+ years of the US generally promoting freedom across the world. Stepping out like that would leave a vacuum - one that would likely be filled by someone without the same desire to promote freedom.
You’re right. I’ve been overly negative recently but I certainly don’t want to cede power to china or any other country. I just get tired of sending billions to countries full of people who hate us and being the relocation destination of people who hate us.
