CMV: The US should focus on its own problems and stay out of other countries’ internal affairs.

There is no legitimate reason I can think of, especially at this point in time, for US leaders to be meddling around in the internal affairs of other countries. With all that is happening within the US, the current priorities of US leaders seems far away from where they should be. Most, if not all, focus should be on mitigating the disastrous effects of climate change, mobilizing against the pandemic, preparing for an inevitable eviction and financial crisis etc.

Instead of dealing with issues at home, US leaders and media have decided it’s more important to interfere with the affairs of countries like Cuba, China, and others. Instead of using American tax dollars to aid American citizens, they’re going to bomb other countries. Instead of dealing with crumbling infrastructure, rampant poverty, and other crises prevalent in American communities, US leaders are ignore and neglect the needs of the American people in their own country in favor of expensive, imperialist foreign policy.

The constant meddling of US leaders in other countries seems to always takes priority over the needs and concerns of every day, working class American people, families, and communities. And while they love to hide their exploits behind notions of protecting our “national security” or fighting for “democracy” and “human rights” it’s much more about protecting the political and economic interests of the wealthy and powerful. It very rarely ever actually is about helping anyone.

Additionally, the problems of other countries should not be American problems. And more often than not, the US is in some way responsible for most of the world’s problems that US leaders claim they want to solve. Nearly every action the US has ever taken abroad has been detrimental to both Americans and the people of the countries destabilized by US involvement in some way. So if our leaders refuse to address the crises already afflicting Americans, they should cease meddling in the internal affairs of other countries altogether.

One word Economy. The reason we care so much is because our economy dependent on other nations. The amount of international clout we have is directly responsible for the incredible wealth in this country. If we decided to become global hermits we would lose a lot of trade partners. They would join other spheres of influence which could over time even prove to be an existential threat. 

People have forgotten how violent our history is. Humans are still humans. We still need to keep our foot on our enemies necks. Forgetting to do that would be very costly.
