"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." - George Washington in his farewell address to the nation

Whether it is Ukraine or Israel, this is a policy I think we should be sticking to. We have too much stuff to fix at home to be meddling in foreign affairs.

“mind your own business.”

its not complicated

Poetic that our first president said that. There have been some great farewell speeches in the past.

This mostly not how states work Marty.

USA would cede ground to the authoritarians.

They will grow in strength year after year.

Until they get very large.

Very powerful.

Sure, that's how it works in games like Risk or Civ. Real life is a bit different though.

This should be our policy, always

“Permanent Alliance” is what to should focus on here.

Help, assistance, arms sales, etc. do not make a permanent alliance. Alliances are reserved for the nations with the closest shared values to your own (hence the 5-eye alliance). Countries who are further and further away from us on the shared values spectrum rightly deserve different forms of agreements or commitments.

Yeah, isolationism worked wonders in the previous century and of course the Kremlin/MAGA wants the US out of everything

Putin and Ci would love a power vacuum they can exploit

you should have Saif on TFTC to discuss Israel... he's well versed in it and can open your eyes to reality

you should have nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzr08nkh7nk4q9cmw02wkfprkgtk0n8kgszlzyqe384ll3qv5rp453f6g5h on TFTC to discuss Israel and their ongoing genocide and America's willing participation in it

Ha. VCs wouldn’t dare to criticize those who cannot be named.

I’m so confused with you because you seem so smart sometimes 😂

Whoa.. Marty finally said Israel. 👏👏👏. Gradually then suddenly.

Can't believe there's so many State-loving, warmongering homos on NOSTR. These comments are crazy.
