Protecting our interest do you mean protecting the oil? How can some of these small countries be a threat to the USA? It seems funny that all this oversea presence has been after ww2 and the advancement of the CIA and military industrial business. The thousands of live that have been lost have they all been to protect the USA or for protecting oil?
I didn’t say protecting our interests. I said protecting our investments, in countries where me made enormous sacrifices in blood and treasure to protect our allies. I speak of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and South Korea specifically.
But protecting oil, the lifeblood of the global economy that sustains our way of life, is a worthy pursuit as well.
I agree with you to some extent, just not 100%. Isolationism is just as reckless as unchecked interventionism. That’s just the way I see it.
