> Informed self-interest would not cause the world to vote for Obama. Economically he is a basket case. His plans are suicidal for our economy. So if you’re talking about self-interest, this guy should scare the pants off anyone who deals with the United States
While I agree with your analysis, it doesn’t stop the plain fact that foreign nations would take a perverse delight in seeing America knocked down a peg or two. Even if it isn’t actually in their best interest.
Europe would love to see their Euro drive world trade.
China would love to see their products drive consumer demand.
Iran would love to be able to run amuck against Israel with impunity.
While foreign countries SHOULD be thankful for a strong America, most of them are childish enough to be ungrateful. Therefore if the rest of the world wants Obama for your President, you can bet dimes for donuts that it isn’t with your best interest in heart.
All the more reason to vote McCain.
I agree that it’s all the more reason to vote McCain. And look, we can disagree on what self-interest will cause nations to do, and what myopic unrealistic pleasures they might get from a U.S. in decline, but I am not convinced they are going to want to see China become the engine driving the world economy.
The United States for it’s flaws, is not a nation intent on conquering nations and subjugating their people. IMO, China is interested in conquering nations and subjugating their people. In time China will become a pariah nation.
You and I probably agree on a lot more than we disagree on. I think we probably dance around this issue, both understanding the pros and cons of the U.S.
I am not convinced our nation is without flaws. I’m sure we do drive other nations and citizens crazy at times. I guess that’s the way it will always be for a large nation vs smaller nations.
I appreciate that you’re here taking part on the forum. Take care.
Your post number 15 describes the world very well, thank you. The worst thing is that freedom loving and democratic people in those countries often don´t realize the truth and fall for the propaganda of the naive left.
What do you think are the greatest problems of the US? I try to analyze what I beliewe are the greatest problems in the vanity on the top of the page, I would like to hear what you think about what I am saying. Am I close to the truth?
