It actually is simple... You don't get to call the shots if you retreat from your world superpower status. With that status comes responsibilities. How many notches do Americans need to take it down in order to stop making everyone hate us? ? Everyone hates us for a couple of reasons.... 1) We saved the world 75 years ago 2) We are a free country (unless Sidepiece wins) 3) We are the richest, most successful country on the planet and the rest of the world is jealous of the USA. The premise is flawed. "Everyone" doesn't hate America.

The premise is flawed. "Everyone" doesn't hate America. Name 3 countries that don't, other than possibly Australia and New Zealand.

Games? Moody's summary is spot on, sorry you don't like it. Oh wow I never pegged you as a war monger, but then as you said you're not sending your kids to die or get crippled. America used to do what Chinese are now doing which is buy influence and friends, we just did it with KFC, McDonalds and Jeans; now what do we export death and destruction. "How many notches do Americans need to take it down in order to stop making everyone hate us", you tell me since you sound like Obama. Sorry status and responsibilities? WTF? LOL!!!! You are ignoring a lot of things the USA Government did between 1946 and 1991 if you think we became and maintained superpower status with KFC, McDonalds, and Jeans. How naive can you be? Talk about falling for propaganda. Oh I'm well aware of the scummy shit our government did between those years. But people LOVED America in those years, not so much after Bush the first. America did not threaten everyone on the planet unless the Soviets were involved. Now we just do what we feel like doing, because we've become the baddies. Oh Moody is not a chicken hawk like you are. His views of foreign intervention are more like mine.

Give me specific examples of how 'we have become the baddies' compared to what we did before 1991. We behave better as country than we did. But don't pretend we are resting on the laurels of those before us... Oh Moody is not a chicken hawk like you are. His views of foreign intervention are more like mine. [/quote] Wait, you said our foreign policy before Bush I was KFC, McDonalds, and Levi's. Moody will go back all the way to 1959 to justify why the Islamic world hated us to such an extent that the American government did 9/11. We are not the "baddies".

The premise is flawed. "Everyone" doesn't hate America. Name 3 countries that don't, other than possibly Australia and New Zealand. Canada, Britain, France. I'll take them over South Africa, Ethiopia, and North Korea. BRICS... so scary!!! Bunch of fucking pussies who are so hard to vote Trump.

We should broke shit, taught a lesson and left. Drone bombing across the planet that continue to today. Hell we have combat troops in 40% of the planet, doing who knows what. Those are four easy ones. Na, we had an opposite force in the Soviets to kept things in a low simmer those controls are gone. I did not state that was our foreign policy I stated we got people to LIKE US with those things. Yes we are such the "goodies" that half the planet would love to see us burn. We are the baddies you just see it since you agree with the badness being done, most chickhawks are like that.

Moody, you have manufactured one too many conspiracy theories, my friend. Come on, man! You aren’t Alan. Let’s be honest. Yeah, everyone here needs to know that this "abuxb" isn't the same Alan from the old site.
