American policy toward the Democratic Republic of the Congo is enormously important, but no mainstream journalist would ever suggest sending troops there, or suggest that we're "losing" the DRC to China or Russia. I wish this attitude were the default in our foreign policy.
The world is full of countries with problems, and it would be nice to go back to our sensible pre-WWI tradition of staying out of them. The best way we can help people in other countries who are suffering is letting massive numbers of them immigrate, to our mutual benefit.
If Venezuela wants to make Xi Jinping Thought mandatory in school, and let China bleed its budget dry by operating a huge military base there, then let them have at it. Fire all these imperialist lifers at the Pentagon and State Department before they drag us into another war.
