Didn't George Washington warn against getting involved in these permanent foreign entanglements?
The Soviet Union died a long time ago, so why does this NATO still exist as a threat to Russia? Which in turn bolsters dicktators like Putin, enabling him to centralize his power to defend against the Western threat.
Didn't John Quincy Adams warn about globalist ambitions also and say this about the republic,
"she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force…. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit…."This is the traditional noninterventionist foreign policy which LEFTY and the NEOCONS predictably debauch its meaning and wisdom and call it instead an "isolationist foreign policy".
