I must be the only guy in the planet who still believes it's rational to both pray for an aggressor to be defeated, while simultaneously adopting a critical stance of US foreign policy.
You are a champion of classical liberalism. If I told you I believed that our foreign policy was very illiberal, would you call me a Putin propagandist?
No. Because one can believe that our foreign policy is illiberal and not be a Putin propagandist. However, I do find the notion on the whole ... unconvincing. Considering the blood and treasure we've expended to put purple ink stains on the fingers of citizens of backwater countries so they could settle their differences at ballot boxes rather than firing squads. Other than that, if I squint maybe I can see "illiberal." ;)
Thanks for reading. If by blood and treasure, you're referring to our overt and covert regime changes, I struggle to see how they could have been preserved from illiberalism, as they occurred generally during the same era as increasing illiberalism in our domestic policy (monetary policy, judicial activism, welfarism, etc.)
If by blood and treasure you're referring only to our congressionally declared wars, I'm on firmer footing with you.
