Opinion of this foreign policy philosophy

[Antonio the Sixth]

"The country's interests" shouldn't be the main focus of foreign policy.

[Antonio the Sixth]

If it's not moral for an individual to pursue their self-interest at the expense of others, then it's not moral for a country to pursue its self-interest at the expense of other countries.

Any moral foreign policy should put universalist goals to the forefront.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Solid.

I agree with Tony, if you see a weaker person getting beat up by a stronger person and you have the ability to stop it, you should.  On the personal level and the nation state level.

And just what happens when you do intervene and not only does the stronger person go after you, but things get even worse for the weaker person?

You realize that, by that analogy, the US is by far the strongest person in the world, right?
