When you're the most powerful nation in the world, you need no entangling alliances or defense pacts. You need no alliances other than trade alliances. When you make friends with one entity, you make an enemy with another.
The American people owe money to no other nation. We should not have to pay our tax dollars to foreign countries in the name of 'aid.'
If we took our entire military and moved it back into the US, our borders would be more secure, the American people would be more secure, and other countries would be free to figure things out for themselves. America should have nothing to do with 'Peace in the Middle East.'
Our foreign policy should be easy to understand:
Leave us alone and we will leave you alone.
If you attack us, then parking lot.
If you disrupt our trade, we will defend against it.
