Marcus,
Let's say you have a neighbor who's always talking about wanting to support
the girl scouts, and who even goes so far as to set up a web page about how
important it is to support the girl scouts, and pays to have signs printed
and distributed around town about how important it is to support
Let’s say it is not a box of cookies but a four year college scholarship or a
Javelin missile launcher. The millionaire might be able to pay those
individually, but no one else. In that situation there is no sales for the
individual girl scouts to perform. At best a few heroic medium-sized do
lol, or a suitcase of high explosives

The point is that the US should strictly keep its nose within its own
boundaries and not export its ideologies globally, eg. as in the Reagan

For instance, if the India Govt wants to directly buy defensive S-400
missiles from Russia in preference to US systems, what gives the USA the

In absence of a common set of values to reason from – ideology – there is no
