America is the hegemony of the world, with the largest military and is in general by far the strongest country in the world. Countries look to America when things go bad, since they ensure peace around the world.
People often criticize America for spending so much on defense, and that it should be used for other reasons. These people fail to realize that America is the one thing enforcing the peace around the world.
Because of this, America has the right to intervene in global issues. It's really their job.
ô boï... I don't think I can...
Did you actually read at least one post from the thread before you started .....
(intense fight against myself to refrain condescending sarcasm) .... posting ?
If not, I just invite you to do so. That will prevent a lot of people to repeat things that have been said many times already.
But for a starter, USA's job and primary concern is to protect USA's interests, mainly economical, and not to "
keep peace around the world" as you claim. And even the statement I just made is pretty naïve ; the immediat interests of banks, multinationals, and the few people financing politics and parties sadly come first too often, before the long term interests of the country and its inhabitants.
