Not sure if that’s sarcasm or ppl down voted you for nothing 🤷♂️
Ofc outside of the USA, internal politics is not our focus, even though we see regressive policies hurting the population (eg. Abortion).
How the us handles foreign policy (not just war and conflicts), it pretty obviously only has its capitalist overlords best interest in mind.
I don’t agree with the simplified absolutist perspective you’ve put forth, but I understand how you could come to that conclusion and how it would circumstantially appear to be a uniquely American endeavor.
I agree that’s not a full view of America, but for the general population that only hears about the USA through conventional media, I’d say that’s what most people will see and remember.
And of course this is only my perspective from my country and my neighbors may very well have a different outlook.
The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.
Which is actually a bad thing, because it doesn’t give voters a choice.
And had credible defense too.
No they didn’t.
At least, I can’t think of examples of democrats and Republicans having similar foreign policy, outlook strategy or execution.
You mean specifically in the interests of defending Europe?
As an outsider, the US was always very reliable for exporting unfettered liberal capitalism, and exporting “democracy”, whatever the party in power.
I can see how the broader export of capitalism could make the us political scene look homogeneous from outside the fish bowl, thanks

That was a genuine response.
Down votes or upvotes whatever votes.
I’m trying to relate and understand.
