I'm fully aware of the failures of US Foreign Policy.

But when you argue about a topic that affects the security of the US, there really is no such thing as "moral high ground".

Edited to add:

I believe China holds that true as well when discussing the security of China, considering the number of spies that are in the US.

So all your concerns boil down to us-vs-them tribalism?

Classifying something as tribalism doesn't make it not an important or real factor to be acted upon. Although I think the term nationalism is more pointed. I live in the US. My family lives in the US, and my well-being is attached to the success of the US.

I'm not arbitrarily in favor of everything the US does, but on the margin, I am in favor of policies that optimize this country's success.
