Preferred foreign policy?

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

The Trump presidency (really more of what Trump didn’t do) made me realize the good that America can do by swinging its weight diplomatically in a good way. No needless wars, but strong commitments to our allies in NATO and the western Pacific Rim are necessary to counterbalance authoritarian powerhouses like China (and Russia, though they’ve proven to be rather wimpy).

Admittedly I was more isolationist before 2016 and that was why I liked Gary Johnson’s foreign policy planks (Aleppo gaffe aside). Neocons are bad though and Biden did right by finalizing our withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Voted option 1, but I still see merits in option 2 and some in option 5. I would’ve preferred if we had voided the patents on mRNA vaccines internationally so that countries with a robust medical industry, like India, could cheaply manufacture Covid vaccines.
