“There are millions of people there that voted against both Chavez and Maduro that are suffering.”

it is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. to alleviate suffering in the world, especially when said suffering is the consequence of free, democratic elections as was the case with the original Chavez election ... a majority of voters in Venezuela voted for an avowed socialist and reaped the miseries that always come with socialism ...

it is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. to effect “regime change”

it is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. to foster “nation building”

it is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. to act as the “world’s policeman”

it is NOT the responsibility of the U.S. to impose our morality on the world

True enough. If US wants its soft power back it should lead by example. The ongoing coup in DC makes poor background for lecturing the World about democratic values.

Well, the “world’s policeman” thing, and the “impose our morality” thing were US policy for several decades after the second world war, like it or not.

That you deny this says far more about you than it does about the rest of the world, and the United States.

Of course, it is the responsibility of any nation with an ounce of morality to oppose left-wing and Islamic radicalism.

That doesn't mean starting a war but providing support for those fighting for freedom. That is what Trump is trying to do.

You, on the other hand, are a soulless isolationist, which a moronic position to take because ignoring the evils of Islamic terrorists or left-wing tyranny will ultimate result in a threat to the nation.
