I don't know any country that has a similar one to ours. I'm speaking of the "foreign policy" of having a giant military and using it to force people to our will worldwide.
Or "sanctions" against other countries that only hurt the actual citizens of those countries while making their bad leaders even more popular for standing up to "the evil United States".
If nothing else...one only has to look at the RESULTS of our decades of that kind of "foreign policy" (basically since the end of WW2) and realize it ain't working.
I don't care what the original INTENT of our foreign policy was (if anyone can even remember anymore)...what counts is the RESULT of it.
And from what I see...the world is as dangerous as ever, poverty is still a worldwide problem, the U.S. is killing people with our military yet again (haven't seemed to really stop since WW2).
If that is the U.S. being the "world leader" (not sure why the "world" would ever want that)...then it's time to rethink things in my opinion.
