View Full Version : U.S. Foreign Policy
U.S. foreign policy is very easy to understand. It has three parts:
(1) If you have cool stuff, we'd like to buy it.
(2) If you have money, we'd like to sell you our cool stuff.
(3) If you try to kill Americans (and yes, everyone knows what that means), you're dead meat.
The END. :D

If you have cool stuff, we'll have it eventually and you may become dead meat in process, but no one will care.
(3) If you try to kill Americans (and yes, everyone knows what that means), you're dead meat.
Does this theory apply to the Chinese, Russians, Indians, and the EU? Because I know that the Chinese did kill americans back in 1950's and the way the US holds grudges. ;)

But if we dont like your price , we will boycot your products and tell all our friends to do the same , and if you're really annoying we wil just have to make surer your cool stuff gets an owner who's prices we do like .
If you have money, we'd like to sell you our cool stuff.
If you dont , thats better for policy nr #1
If you try to kill Americans (and yes, everyone knows what that means), you're dead meat.
Nomatter what the motives all . We dont care what you do or why you do it , we care only about who you are doing it to .
Damn jerrek , what a stupid look at things anyways .....
American foreign policy is simple. Politian X makes decision that will either benefit him/her financially, or win votes (and to appease the ocassional blackmailers/threats). And that means not caring about other countries unless the money flow or the influence effects you.

That is a reasonably admirable policy. It can have dangerous effects in some instances but generally a good idea. However, if you've stopped into reality for even a brief instance then you will see that the actual policy goes: "If you have cool stuff, we'd like to buy it, however... ". The "however" equates to some protectionist measure to protect local industry come election time.
If you try to kill Americans (and yes, everyone knows what that means), you're dead meat. Note the "if" is not "if and only if". eg. Gulf War Reloaded had sod all to do with protecting americans.

hypewaders 06-01-03, 03:25 AM US Foreign Policy:
Like most major corporations, U.S. Gov't Inc is becoming bureaucraticly bloated, fratricidal, manipulative, and at times paranoid delusional. Coasting along on inertia while goodwill and legitimacy evaporates, and the competition gets cracking. Then we decline, and lawyers divide the spoils. Cue out-of-tune star-spangled bungler. Hang onta yer hats, podners- this here 21st Century is gonna be one helluva hoot.
American foreign policy went through four stages,
i)isolationalism, ii) containment, iii) the peace keeper years (90's), and iv) PNAC. The last being the wish of the neo-cons, zionists to create a world empire, (but deny that it is), and to destroy any state that threatens the US, or Israel. It is I believe defacto policy of the US administration.
