The US is not responsible for maintaining order in the world.
That is the neoconservative’s foreign policy.
True conservatism is for limited government, including the use of the military.
We are not the world’s cops.
If you want to be a super power militarily AND ECONOMICALLY, you must act like one. To pretend anything else is what they call in Sanskrit “koop mandook” mentality. It is the mentality of a frog living in a deep well who thinks he is living a grand life.
But like I said, as broke as we are now, why are we spending billions in middle-east protecting oil supplies to China with borrowed money from China? Win-Win for China, Lose-Lose for us.
