Nationalism
I thought it meant protecting these independent, sovereign yet United States’ best interests and I don’t see how meddling in the affairs of other countries has helped these United States one bit. We used to meddle in Ctrl/South America. For what reasons? We meddled in the Middle East. How’d that work out for us? We “helped” Ukraine when they were gaining their independence in the 90s. We helped with their “elections”(color revolutions) Why? So it could become a slush fund for pols? How about Korea or Vietnam? Necessary or helpful to us?
So which of these independent, sovereign United States full of independent, sovereign people was helped by any of the above? We get involved in these things to help pols and big business but the result is a bunch of young people getting killed in some other country that did not attack any of these independent, sovereign United States.
What am I missing blinky?
God made America strong because it was peaceful, moral, free, responsible and productive.
If we become warlike, immoral, irresponsible, politically-controlled and unproductive, we will be destroyed.
