We can but we can't because we enforce a global order that is quite beneficial to our security. We go about it in these reflexive, ego-satisfying ways, like @Neokrates comments there

what’s wrong is that an entertainment organization that has nothing to do with the government and is solely existent for the production of entertaining people, takes advantage of their voice on social media and apologizes to iran for Trumps doings?
it’s illogical in my eyes.

also, when the people who do serious foreign policy homework talk, the same people also don't listen either, like Fiona Hill, etc

or Rep Slotkin whom was a CIA analyst for a career

as in that tweet thread

Why isn't there a foreign policy debate channel?

you're here

@jackpumpkin Islam is responsible for all the turmoil in the Middle East. Name another religion that is causing such strife

@Sh0t Saudi Arabia is also an issue. They’re not an ally I would have chosen

Your a troll dude.

You’re

I didn’t suggest they weren’t responsible.

Lol I’m not British

@!GoldenKingship! wot

@jackpumpkin so we agree then

No I don’t believe in endless wars.

i love hearing the Trump air strikes

puts a smile on my face

If you ignore the rest of the world it will catch up to you eventually. Non-interventionist = surrendering power

And when you lose power you lose everything

There has to be a place between non interventionist and endless war. I’d like to think we reconsider our policy after we’ve sent a generation to the same country.

GG @jackpumpkin, you just advanced to level 2!

What change would you make?

Well I wouldn’t have invaded Iraq. That’s been well debated.

Future policy is the only thing that matters now

I would let Shia and Sunnis have there civil war.

Their*

I think it’s important to have a foothold in the region

Otherwise other countries will take power

What if China decided to.

What if Russia and China decided to

That place was/is the liberal world order the US mostly enforces

US plays referee, which discourages other countries from having arms races

Nice view, what are you 12?

when we start to get 'selfish' we lose that securiy benefit. it's counterintuitive to those who don't think beyond one or two steps

That's very constructive, @DH2014.

Hey man I’m just saying

Trump is bad for the US, and her free market

Care to elaborate?

Trumps protectionism which culminated in the trade war is harming not only corporations but the people who work for them too

GG @DH2014, you just advanced to level 3!
