Sorry to break it to everyone but America First doesn't mean naval gazing
Discussion
America First means reducing the size and power of the Federal Government.
Perhaps eventually and I would prefer that end. We don't get to live in a vacuum though. We can't pretend that our state adversaries won't act in their own interests.
Our biggest adversary is the US Federal Government. No sane Nation would ever attempt to occupy the US through military action. At best they would nuke all the urban centers and never set foot on US soil.
Do you really think this war will have a positive impact on lives of Americans? 🤔 The stolen oil will 'trickle down' will it? 😄
The system squeezes out all wealth it can, both at home and abroad. It robs plebs everywhere. Celebrating when it's happening to the 'other' is shortsighted.
More of the same stale thinking.
America now controls the largest oil reserve.
Low gas prices, economic growth, reduces eu needing russia, checks russian oil revenue, cock blocks china, forces them all to the table.
This sentiment over eveything a state does is bad because states are bad is so boring to me.
I celebrate the freedom of millions of Venezualans and the releasing of them from economic oppression.
No point arguing about it now, I'll make a note to revisit this in a year.
