The American Foreign Policy Should Be Non-Interventionist

The United States was once a non-interventionist nation that minded our own affairs. However, this nation is now always involved with other countries’ problems because America just cannot seem to mind its own business.

The American people would be furious just like the people of other nations that have been affected and are currently being affected by the United State’s imperialistic actions. If this scenario ever becomes a reality, perhaps it will teach the United States to not unnecessarily meddle with events abroad. Let the other countries be.
