    I agree with both of you. The USA should stop support in total and let the nations of the world do for themselves. We have carried that burden way too long, as the rest of the world turns it’s back, or complains about what we do.

      There is a difference between capitalism and globalization. You can still have radical capitalism, with near sight/profit orientated exploitation of your local system.

      Did I misunderstand something in your statement or did you just don’t understand what current practiced radical capitalism means?

        I have a complete understanding, but I don’t think what I said supports radical capitalism in any way. I want US dollars spent domestically. Period. Minimal global support, just like every other major nation of the world. The United States should no longer do anything more than the 2nd place country.

      I get what you’re saying, and I don’t think you deserve the downvotes. However, I’d say the US needs to stop being the world police and be the world EMT. With the logistical power set up already, we could stop with the imperial power and transition to a peace corp that addresses natural and humanitarian disasters.
