My General Foreign Policy Principles

I have said it before and I will say it again, there should have been a general reappraisal of US foreign policy and military objectives a couple of years after the end of the Cold War around 1992 and that reappraisal never happened. As a result, like some bad science fiction movie we are eternally stuck in 1989 and can’t get out of it.

We still see Russia, incorrectly, as an expansionist power, eager to drive all the way to the English Channel. We continue to maintain large numbers of troops in Europe and remain NATO members. In Asia, we feel it's our responsibility to contain Red China and at the same time defend Taiwan from invasion. Our elites are stuck in the early 90’s where the US was the only world power. The rise of China and India as industrial powers and Putin turning Russia’s economy around during his rule, has changed things. Small countries like Singapore and Vietnam, while they may not be big players in the world economy, have done a good job of advancing their economies. The world has changed and a lot of it has to do with the industrialization of countries that had little or no industry forty years ago. We live in a multi-polar world.

Getting deeply involved in the quarrels of Europe was always a fool’s errand. Nations and alliances get involved in disputes, wars start and borders change. A rational man could have supported the Cold War against world Bolshevism. A lot of people found Marxist-Leninism attractive at one time and there was an international movement toward advancing world revolution, but all that is over. The Soviet Union broke up and Russia became Russia again, headed by a new kind of czar. China calls itself Communist, but is capitalist to the core. Vietnam was always less communist and more nationalist. In the early 90’s, Yugoslavia became nationalist and broke up. Now, most of those countries are liberal-globalist in orientation.

Our foreign wars in recent decades are the result of blowback from our deep immersion in the Zionist paradigm, which seems either a kind of weird national obsession or the money thrown at our politicians by a certain ethno-religious group that likes taking advantage of the invincible ignorance of the man on the street. Fortunately, people are finally figuring out the Zionist scam.

Instead of the crazy international ideological project of spreading neo-liberalism worldwide, I suggest that the US defend its own borders. We should also, in accord with the Monroe Doctrine, keep major world powers out of Mexico and Central and South America. We can do this with a military that is half the size it is now, saving multiple billions. An America First foreign policy should produce a peace dividend which could be used to reduce our crippling deficits or some other domestic project.
