It is a world game. We have been sitting at the table for a hundred years, you don’t just pick up your chips and throw in your cards because you don’t like the game. I will never understand you head in the sand isolationist.

I have been a big interventionist up til the past couple of weeks. My head has not been in the sand. I just think we are making things worse that are not of our concern. Chaos-stan is not ours and the conflicts are centuries old. We will add nothing to it. Time for us to learn how to fight like the Swiss and focus on significant defense measures.

The world is more interconnected than the simplistic sheen of the 1st dimension Cs is describing; it is our concern to project our influence where it is in our national interest.

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense, diplomatic or otherwise.
But then, perhaps you would prefer our Republic that is the world leader to sit in the corner deaf, dumb & blind to the world around them.
