Foreign policy is literally the easiest thing in the world.
- Don't go around initiating conflicts, but be prepared to defend yourself.
- Don't give out monetary or military aid to conflicts you don't have any immediate part in.
That's literally it, and aside from Thomas Massie, Tulsi Gabbard, and Ron Paul (sometimes Rand too when he's having a good day), nobody in the US government gets it.
This country is such a fucking joke.

@Indigo that outlook only works if you're interested in peace, prosperity and security for the nation you represent. if your goal is to use the nation you represent as a weapon and shield for another nation (like one you have dual citizenship in), then it makes no sense to follow those rules
@condret That is probobly because I am an isolationist.
I think the US went down the wrong path after WWII in terms of our place in the world, and it's just gotten worse and worse ever since.
That doesn't mean I'm against relations, and trade, and cultural exchange between countries; in those respects I'm very internationalist. But war should only be waged as a defensive action to protect the nation and it's people. We don't need to be the worlds police, and whenever we try we make things worse (just ask Libya how that "Freedom and Democracy," we gave them is going for them).
We don't need to be expanding our empire or giving out billions of our money, weapons, and/or our peoples lives to other countries while our country is literally falling apart.
Hell, I'd be in favor of not just cutting off Israel and Ukraine, but demanding they pay everything we gave them back with interest, but I'd be satisfied with just not giving them any more at this point.

@Paultron If we banned US public officials from holding dual-citizenship with other nations, and accepting cooperate money, a non-insignificant number of America's problems would be eliminated overnight.

@Hyolobrika @condret In Europe, I don't think it's have been that much different, Germany was gonna lose either way. Hitler was fighting a two front-war against the Soviet Union and Western Europe, defeat was inevitable well before the US ever got involved, and down south Mussolini was losing favor with the king already, he was going down too.
The US impact on the Pacific was more significant, but Imperial Japan wasn't in a strategically advantageous position long-term; and after the other two axis powers lost, they may very well have surrendered anyway, nukes or no nukes.
The US intervention in WWII was very unpopular prior to Pearl Harbor, and that could have very easily been avoided if we had better diplomacy, and just didn't take part in the oil embargo.
