ok i get it. about U.S being the dominant power and spreading its influence, but shouldn't they be worrying about domestic problems before going international. and i never thought about the fact that if they help another country they will get trade privileges and other advantages.

That's what motivated the U.S. to go international in the first place. Before WWII, America was a very isolationistic country. We kept to our business and we got attacked at Pearl Harbor. From that point on, the U.S. changed foreign policy to be more proactive. The first purpose of going international was to insure domestic safety.

From there on out, the U.S. has promoted its influence. Only then, can we rest assured that we're safe. Economic ties with leading countries, global military, and peace treaties are keeping us on top. That way, other countries will not attack us and we prevent the 3rd world war, or atleast postpone it.

apparently? what are you basing this on...like actual numbers of lobbyist or...what?

fear is not a good deturrent to war if anything its more likly to insite war at a later point. try the cold war both america and russia on the verge of attack each other because both have masses of nukes and other reasons ofc

That works, really, even I do that. Every time I see someone who's not my friend, I kick him in the nuts or punch in the face. You know, those people would surely have punched me had I not managed to beat them first. That's the beauty of this pre-emptive method of protection; Kick them before they have even started planning to batter you.
