No Nation in the World has existed in isolation since the beginning of the 20th Century. Like it or not, we live in an era of mankind when no nation can exist in isolation.
Why is this important? Because the direction of the world inevitably affects what happens in America. If China is gaining a toe-hold in Canada, or Greenland, do you think this doesn't affect the USA?
When Trump stated: "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens" you either agree with him or you don't.
If you do, then you need to understand, there are three major players in the world, and our world is more rapidly developing than at any time in human history. Artificial intelligence will play an absolutely key role to the future well-being not only of America, but of every person on the planet. Whoever wins the AI race, and whatever principles they uphold, will impact the future of the whole planet. America included.
America, Russia, China.
Not recognizing this point is extremely short-sighted.
What about Iran? Iran is the FINAL linchpin maintaining conflict and violence in the Middle East. Iran has sponsored terrorism and chaos in all their neighboring countries, helping to create the immigration crisis that Europe has undergone. But if there is peace in the Middle East, if the Iranian people are allowed to create a prosperous nation dedicated to the well-being of all its people, who benefits?
Everyone.
Everyone except the Globalist maniacs who want to subvert all nations to their will.
Everyone except those people who benefit from war and suffering.
This is why Trump has been moving to secure not just the American homeland - capturing and removal of illegal criminal immigrants - but securing South America - Venezuela, and their energy reserves, etc.
This is why Trump has been making peace deals around the world, bringing together nations that have been enemies for decades, or longer.
Why? Because a world at peace, a world where the different regions are no longer exploited by global corporations or agents of chaos, a world where every nation can finally look at the real American model and aspire to achieve some similar success, that world ensures the safety of America and the future of America.
And if you are worried about Israel, well, a liberated Iran would not empower Israel to pursue war, but rather make the Israeli war-machine redundant. If the Israel Machine is indeed evil, this action against the terrorist Iranian regime doesn't help them. It makes them weaker.
What matters is not the headline, the image, the action, but the WHY. And Trump's why is very, very clear.
Peace for America and the World means peace through strength.
The first duty of the American Government is to protect American Citizens
And that is exactly why Trump is doing what he's doing.
Anyone who cannot see this is ignoring everything that Trump has done. His track record speaks for itself.
Yes they can, they just haven’t. The argument you should be making is that previous administrations left messes around the world and now President Trump has to clean it up.
There are various angles at which we could look at the situation, and the post is by no means comprehensive.
This is certainly true, but I wrote the post primarily thinking of how to argue the point with normie Maga-type folks and people who are not yet read in on how corrupt and evil Bush Snr ~ Obama were.
The point is to highlight the nature of the playing field Trump MUST deal with. America First normies could easily argue "oh, well, Sure, earlier administrations left a lot of mess but that's not our problem. How does cleaning them up serve America's interests?"
Well, that's a bit of a theoretical argument like, "socialism can work; it just hasn't until now".
I would emphasize that (imo) there is a big difference between being self-sufficient and being able to exist in isolation.
The Cabal globalist agenda has been to strip the Western nations of their ability to be self-sustaining, making them reliant on other countries (like CCP China) for supply chains and so forth (Eg Europe - energy, Russia). Why? Because this makes those nations vulnerable and weak.
But no country today can realistically exist in isolation, unless its a tiny little country hidden away in the deep Amazon or in shangri-la up in the himalayas.
Even if America were to become quite self-sufficient - which I believe is one of Trump's core objectives - the USA cannot escape the impacts and effects coming from its environment. What if, for example, Canada became a Chinese vassal state? Of if all of South America collapsed and more and more people attempted to immigrate into the USA?
Having a diseased, malfunctioning, failing set of nations around is going to have an impact. Even if the USA was to build a huge wall, could the USA exist as the Kingdom of Heaven when the rest of the world is in hell?
What if nuclear plants in Mexico imploded? The best bet for a truly independent nation that could potentially exist in isolation is Russia, but its simply not practical.
In history, technology, geography, limited ability to travel or communicate restricted how isolated a country or people's could be. Not so any more.
Self-sufficiency is the first step, but then, mutual cooperation and mutual prosperity based on shared principles is the way forward. For everyone.
It's a very small planet now. We either move forward together, or we all go down the sinkhole.
America truly great is the model. But it is like one organ in a body with all sorts of organs and systems. 'Isolation' is an illusion. imo.
