Should The United States Withdraw All Its Troops Worldwide?

[Jimmy]

Why or why not?

 

[Stevicus]

Why or why not?

Perhaps not all at once, but we should start setting reasonable goals along those lines. Why? My view is that, if we don't have any intention to conquer the world, then we must leave it alone to govern itself.

If we pull back, tyrants around the world will run rampant. Many parts of the world rely on the US for protection and we’d be doing them a disservice if we left them to fend for themselves.

Well, I said not at all once, but it's a goal we should strive for. If you're suggesting that the world situation will remain static, where America's role is indispensable, otherwise tyrants will run rampant and the rest of the world would be defenseless, then why should we continue with this status quo?

Do you know if we are in the places we’re in to conquer or to protect?

 

[Regiomontanus]

Why or why not?

Yes. Great question.

Why? Because I do not support empire.

 

[Regiomontanus]

So yo

If we pull back, tyrants around the world will run rampant. Many parts of the world rely on the US for protection and we’d be doing them a disservice if we left them to fend for themselves.

So you are of the mindset that Americans should tell everyone else what to do and think. Geez

 

[Stevicus]

Well, the government claims it's all about protection - "making the world safe for democracy" and all that jazz. Others claim that it's all about protecting our national interests. This would indicate a desire towards some sort of economic benefit, which is often a common reason for conquest. So, it seems our government enjoys all the benefits of conquest, without actually calling it "conquest." Pretty clever of them, isn't it?

You don’t sound sure. Did I ask a difficult question?

 

[Stevicus]

It's a question I don't know the answer to.

 

[Jimmy]

It's a question I don't know the answer to.

It’s weird we don’t even know what our government is doing. Is the world that big? Or are we just uneducated? Kind of sad actually.

I see it is more like trying to hold up to some level of moral and ethical principles, morals and ethics required for a global outlook, where everyone has a fair chance in life.

A big issue is, that American also needs to address its declining moral and ethical foundations, as racism, nationalism and unbridled liberty are eroding the viability of America as being an example of what unity can produce on a National scale, as a model for global cooperation.

I think the bigger and even more important issue is that the whole world needs to address its declining moral and ethical foundations. There’s not a place on the face of the earth that can hide from this. If you think there is your living in a fantasy world. The reason it seems out of control is the simple fact that the world population is growing. The majority of the people in the world are good but when you have a population of 8 billion, the amount of problems you have will be more noticeable. Don’t worry though. The Lord has a plan.

 

[Estro Felino]

It depends.
If the intention is to bring war and discord, they should.
If the intention is to bring peace and to use war as the last resort, extrema ratio, well...they are useful.

But history has been clear...a warlike POTUS one after the other.

The only pacifist POTUS was assassinated by those devilish warmongers in Dallas in 1963.
