We don't need influence in that mess of a region.

We do, promoting stability is important

lol we do need influence for there oil

Why do you think we are in Afghanistan

do you want the long or the short version

Promoting stability half-way across the world won't do shit, and Trump promised to pull out from Afghanistan.

We dont need their oil we produce enough of ourown

Well ultimately they are not of us.

Each respective nation should sort out its own problems, that is the core of the nationalist message.

We are jacking aphganostans natural resources

Life aint that simple

fork trying to stableize other country they could all kill each other for all i care. All i want is there oil with fake money

The whole "Inside every gook is an American trying to break free" argument of foreign policy is outdated.

What is being an american to you

For real, the people of these countries hate us as well, not just the governments.

Freedom

when the world goes to shit only thing that matter is how much resources your country has not some digits on a computer screen that you could just use as toilet paper

Freedom to do what

Kill tyrants and say fuck you

That is fucking retarded

Freedom to spend trillions of dollars in forever wars.

War is what we do

The way I see it, "America" is the continuation of the practices of English/Anglo-Saxon civil liberties and common law.

So freedom is war to you

Yup

What was won at Runnymede and Yorktown are one in the same.

So what if there is no more wars

Except we killed a lot of red coats not to listen to the queen

It was a lot more complicated than that

That would be great, we focus on science and exploration

only reason i care about them being some oil so we spend there oil instead of ours because when push come to shove all thats going to matter is how much resources your country has. if we are using other country's real natural resources instead of ours the better during time of peace

We have domestic oil. Plus, invading for oil is unnecessary.

It wasnt about not listening to the King, it was about having a say in their own policies and receiving proper uses of their own taxes

Der what about when we use ours up

It doesn't work that way, you can't just run out. As technology progresses, our ability to find and pump new sources increases.

We invaded because we were ran by a criminal death cult who wanted to topple nation after nation and implant new goverments

The US had been doing that for 70 years

My issue is that America has turned into an Empire. I don't want it to be an empire. Empires when they become degenerate tend to try to meddle in the affairs of foreign powers that really aren't in their best interests. Oddly enough, when the Roman Republic was in its decline, they kept overthrowing oriental potentates and propping up new ones who would, for a time, work with the Romans, but then stab them in the back. Sound familiar?

More or less

The pointless wars dont do anything but drain our cash
