Wilson got us into WW1 to bail out Great Britian right after the bastard lied through an election about keeping us out.
Versailles was a travesty. The League of Nations was a joke just as is the UN.
Besides, we are broke.
Bankrupted by empire-like overreach, like Spain and France and Britian before us. History keeps repreating
Frist we are not broke. We have a cash flow problem because our leaders refuse to tap into our assets. Energy production being one of the biggest. Economic growth will go a long way to reducing our Debt and the best way to get that economic growth is to tap into our energy assets. We are also having a cash flow problem because of overregulation and over taxation.
The League of Nations and Versailles would hav ebeen better if the USa was a part of it no? Our failure to engage in world affairs allowed others to write and make both. we and the world were shaped by the will of others because we failed to take the responsibility for our own destiny and failed to take responsibility for world events....
Our debt has little to do with our “empire” it has everything to do with our lack of politcal leadership and internal policies.
We could project overwhelming power cheaply. Just takes the spine to do it.
