Maybe we should try non-interventionism before we go completely broke being the world's policeman. We are pretty close now when we have to borrow from China, a potential enemy.
Non intervention doesnt work.
Some one has do defend the south 40.
We dont need to be agressors, but...we need to have a presence to dissuade the other guy from aggression.
Wow I am sure to be flamed for this but I am surprised by the near unanimity of opinion here that the US should intervene in Korea again.
There have always been wars and always will be wars. The US protected much of the world from agressor states in the 20th Century. We’re broke now and can’t do it any more.
And to those who suggest that advocating a policy of non-intervention in foreign fueds do not understand our history - non-intervention was US policy until Wilson and FDR made it otherwise.
The founders were clearly against foriegn “entangling alliances” as expressed in Washington’s Farewell Address.
We are not broke and borrowing from China because we have bases overseas. We are broke and bowrrowing from China because of entitlements and other liberal policies.
