its comes down to the exercise of power over other countries.

the argument is that if *we* aren't involved internationally in exercising our advantage over other places, China (or somebody) will be.

and they will leverage their resource advantage against us.

Therefore

if we're really America ONLY

we need to be active on the international stage or we fall behind and end up at a disadvantage.

I'd argue that that's done more harm than good over the years

maybe so, there's no way to tell.

but thats the argument

in essence

"some OTHER psycho will conquer the world and come after us, so we need our American psycos in government"

😕

America is a hollow shell and needs to focus on itself for a bit.

thats the end of the road result of the bargain that was made in bretton Woods.
