Me, I think it's about damn time we stopped being the policemen of the world. Our kids die for too many of these hopeless causes. The talking heads try to scare us with talk of terrorists behind every tree and all the innocent people who will die because we didn't protect them from the big bad wolf, but to me, this is exactly why Trump was elected. To put America first and stopping wasting our treasure and the young lives of our men and women fighting the world's battles. We can support these places with weapons, even cash, but let them fight their own battles.

NATO, too ... why the hell are we defending Europe against Russia. Europe's a big boy ... and I helped win the cold war eons ago!

I can't agree more. It's a crazy system we have. Take in everyone from anywhere, feed, educate, and house them for life, yet our own vets (not me, I'm talking the real heroes out there that actually fought these battles) walk the streets and can't get basic health care in a timely fashion. I have no problem with kicking a Saddam Hussein (sp) outta Kuwait when he decides he's gonna annex it ... but kick him out, rough him up a bit, then step away. Ya don't have to stay forever getting our decent kids killed to show how tough you are.

Why even kick him out in the first place? In all likelihood someone worse will just pop up. Why not wait for them to become an actual threat to the US then deal with it.

I can agree to a more hands off approach but we shouldn’t let someone kill and torture people because it doesn’t affect us. While we have no right or obligation to be the world police the strong should protect the meek

While I agree, my point was more we can’t solve all the problems in the world I’m all for helping other countries but not at the expense of our own problems going unsolved. If we have mass unemployment and a mortgage crisis happening maybe that’s not the best time to be trying to take down dictators over sees. Maybe we fix our major problem and go after the dictators when our people are not being made homeless and starving.

You have a good point, I just think we have to prioritize and I would say America should come first. Our vets our kids. If we try to solve all the worlds problems, like sending seemingly endless aid to say Africa while taking all their best and brightest as immigrants nothing ever gets solved.

Let their own people deal with 'em. I agree.
