Here's an idea: How about _not_ engaging far away from your landmass and not "projecting power"? The rest of the world has had quite enough of your projections.

Bad idea. I want the US to continue projecting power because the alternative is worse.

Somehow, all those people whose countries get bombed, embargoed, invaded, or have their governments switched by the US - generally seem to fail to agree with you.

[Zigurd]

Oddly and apparently surprisingly, it is possible for the US to be misguided and heavy handed in some cases, like overthrowing South American governments not willing to be exploited, while also, for example, contributing to the relatively peaceful and democracy-expanding end of the Cold War.

I very much disagree with you here. I am from Germany and the majority of people agree that the allied invasion and win by the allies was good to restore our democracy after the 2nd world war.

Just don’t blame the us or anyone when there’s another Rwanda massacre and nobody intervenes
