I've always wondered what would happen globally if the US just decided they weren't going to play anymore. No more foreign aid handouts, no more grain donations, no more 'fair trade' agreements. What would happen if we decided to pick up the ball and go home?
That question White Shogun is an Excellent, question. I myself have asked it may times.
Our country has became, too involved in forging affairs and aid. We basically have become a slave and police force for people that wish to see us die and don't give a damn about us, yet they wish to have, hand outs, from the great rich America 24 hours a day. We currently are the ONLY superpower that is alive in the world, this breeds jealousy by countries that wish to be hand have the power that we do but can never have. A great and famous man once stated about America's future path:
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to Foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. SO far we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has set a of primary interest which to us have none or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the cause of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes (changes) of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities....
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world...
That people is an Excerpt from the Great George Washington's Farewell Address, our FIRST president. In my opinion Mr. Washington was a political genius in foreign affairs. IF all of our old and new politicians read what Mr. Washington said in his farewell address and use it today, what would America be capable of?
