When there are so damn many problems in this country? Also, in a ton of the third world countries, the corrupt governments pocket the money for themselves while the citizens live in poverty. Pisses me off

because as a country the USA wants friends in many locations so they can set up bases closer to the nonfriend countries...
Our history shows every decision since the age of Imperialism when dealing with foreign policy deals with the impact of trading markets.
So the pessimist in me says we deal with 3rd world nations to allow our goods to go to more countries.
I personally believe that we are asking for trouble anytime we dont promote human rights or go isolationist. History has shown that this is a recipe for danger.
Our problems at home are miniscule compared to across the globe. I dont think we should ignore them butwe can afford to look globally and still act locally as well.
It's butter up money for when the U.S. needs to come in and annex the country's natural resources and untapped economic potential due to lack of prior industrialization
It'll be easier to come in as a friend than to have to militarily invade them![]()
