I wonder why you mentioned starting wars though if it didn’t matter to you who starts the wars. It was your comment about us starting wars that I responded to. I think it clearly does matter to you “who started what”.
Now you are making comments about “taking the moral high ground”.
Are you also implying America doesn’t take the high ground? Even when we engage in wars thrust upon us? Are we wrong to respond with force against dictators attacking our friends when talking and reason doesn’t work? Or when we are attacked?
I agree we need to do what is right for our country. I also believe we did just that when we stepped up to help the Kuwaitis. I believe defending our allies and trading partners is the right to do for our country.
I also think protecting our economic interests is the right thing to do for our country. Don’t fool yourself, every country tries to take care of their economic interests, not just us. Imo we actually do so with a more even hand than most would given our strength.
