Just a simple question I want to ask.
What was the last country we sent our boys to defend, or supplied with war materials, that did not eventually stab us in the back? To be honest, I cannot think of any nation we defended that has not come back and stabbed us. They either become adversaries against us, or their citizens grow up to hate us.
I ask, because I see so many clamoring for us to get involved in the Ukraine/Russian war. Me? I say let them decimate each other.
We gain nothing helping either side. It is time we spend our resourses and efforts on defending our own borders.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Are we a vassal state of China?
Name one nation in recent history that we didn’t cut and run from leaving the ones that trusted us to die.
The U.S. foreign policy in the last 60 years has been absolutely abysmal with the brief exception under Ronald Reagan.
The US involvement in foreign counties borders on genocide every where we try to “help”.
The U.S. military is not to be trusted.
"Was my title close to another article I am unaware if??/"
I should have noted that my post was a side note to the thread.
My point is that, as a consequence of the "engagements" that Congress gets us into, US is probably regarded by many war-afflicted countries as a loose cannon.
I think it always did. “Countries do not have friends, only interests.” - DeGaulle said that and certainly behaved as if he believed it.
South Korea?
I'm waiting for all Limeys to be speaking Arabic, and all Aussies to be speaking Mandarin, so we can Nuke 'em both into oblivion in Operation Nathan Hale.
Sadly I agree, which buttresses my point.
Even more reason we should just mind our own business.
Keep a strong military, take care of our own business, and be ready if anyone dares to pick on us.
Agree, see post #86.
Or at least before they nuke us.
Can you imagine the nukes wars we will be in once the Muslims get complete control of the British government?
King Edward is rolling in his grave.
I’ll take Israel, for $100, Jim.
I will never forgive Israel for their cowardly attack on the Liberty, and I would arrange for the application of Justice to the perpetrators and those protecting them.
I’m sure there are some aspects of the Taiwan economy that benefit from the push to reduce “carbon emissions” but their manufacturing is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels.
More or less, if the regime has anything to say about it.
After WW I and throughout the Cold War, Poland was resistant to Soviet communism and had a major role in bringing the USSR down. With covert US help and a popular election, the Polish trade union Solidarity and farmer's union Rural Solidarity eventually displaced the communist puppet government.
More broadly, in addition to Poland, Britain in the modern era, and Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia) have all been reliably pro-US in a pinch. Friends of mine who recently visited Sweden were astonished at the genuine warmth of Swedes toward Americans.

Grenada?

Now you know why we are in it. And this isn’t all of it.

I don’t think it’s any more fair to judge a whole foreign country by the covert actions of its intelligence agency than to judge the entire US by the covert actions of the CIA.
I thought South Vietnam (no longer exists).
UK maybe. Poland, too, I guess. Also didn’t we “stab” some of them in the back? Vietnam by abandoning them. The Philippines by making them a colony for almost 50 years.
