With all the comments about America here I began to wonder...
Would the world be better off if the USA didn't get involved in foreign affairs.... at all? Not just in terms of military but economic aid, programs, etc. outside of bare minimal involvement. Pulling out all troops everywhere. No support for Israel or any other country. Give up security council seat in the UN. Give minimal funding to the UN. Minimal economic aid to other countries. Neutral stance in all international affairs. Relationship with other countries mainly for just trade. Basically just focus on domestic issues and whatever happens elsewhere don't get involved.
Obviously this is pure fiction (just not feasible for too many reasons) but wondering if people would rather have American involvement (good and bad) vs none at all.
I personally prefer American involvement simply because they "pull-out" then the void will get filled by someone else and other candidates to fill the spot looks much less attractive than the US (unless EU does it.... which can't happen). Overall I feel the US has done more good for the world than bad. But I'm sure many don't agree with me.
