discuss Is Western Foreign Policy Creating More Wars Than It Solves?

[Apsara]

The West often intervenes in global conflicts, in the name of promoting democracy and security. But are these interventions stabilizing the world or creating more chaos? Should Western nations continue to police global conflicts, or is it time to focus inward?

Well, in the case of the recent conflict in Yemen, it's all about trade, but ironically, it seems to be mostly European trade effected.

What wars has the west caused?

 

[Lord Severus]

All the wars you take, that has ravaged the world altogether, has been for the interests of the West.

Vietnam, Iraq, Israel, Ukraine, world wars, cold war - everything!

I dont think for the west, it is a matter of policy, but a matter of habbit.

Old habbit donot young die.

Ukraine happened because Putin wanted to claim that country as Russia. Putin is a dictator that wants it all to himself and the Soviet Union. He wants nothing more than to bring communism back to Russia, regardless of the west.

This attitude was all predicted back in the 90s with the movie Air Force One.

I'm not sure if he wants Communism back.

As a non westernl, I observe that Western foreign policy has often had unintended consequences. It's a complex issue with many perspectives.

What wars has the west caused?

Vietnam war!
More recent, Iraq war!
Even the Afghanistan war!

 

[Jason]

The nations the US have opposed have often been tyrannical. I mean, who wants to live in a Stalinist regime? To this day, of course, those governments will whitewash their past and blame America.

I suppose one argument Communists use is that "the ends justify the means", just like what we see with Trump.

Vietnam was a mistake.

Iraq... questionable.

Afghanistan? Someone had to take out the nasty terrorists. The US seemed to have the biggest balls to do it.

But if you attack the sleeping giant, you deserve what you get. HAMAS is learning that now.

History shows that interventions often come with unintended consequences—sometimes solving one crisis while igniting another. True stability might come from diplomacy and collaboration rather than force. Maybe it’s time to rethink the role of global policing!

Vietnam wasn't a mistake considering what they knew at the time. I mean, the Soviet's had taken half Europe and China went red.

Maybe just the amount of time we stayed there. Or maybe not taking control.

We shouldn't have left Afghanistan. I think we're going to end up regretting that one in time.

We were in Vietnam cleaning up French colonial abuse. Remember, the French also ruled Haiti at one time.

I believe that Arab policy, unfortunately, will create more and then more conflicts, especially after the imposition of a policy of economic war such as tariffs, which will lead to more wars and Trump’s talk about Greenland and Canada, which will push for more inflation
