When we conquered nations in war we should have taken them as our own.

It has to be all or nothing.
We can't nation build and then hand the keys back over to a bunch of knuckle-dragging savages.

Our mistake is the arrogance that people in other parts of the world share the same values and thinking that we do.
Believing that we can reshape an Afghanistan or Iraq into a mold of western society is one of the most idiotic ideas I’ve ever heard of.
A lot of people there don’t want that. They want a better society, but not wholly based upon our ideals and values.

I will be honest, I don't know why the country of Germany exist today. The neighboring countries should have just took what they wanted. Except France, they are a bunch of weenies.

My favorite example of this was forcing the Afghan military into accepting women.

The Roman's gave up.
The Golden Horde didn't get there.
The Brits won and wanted no part of it including the French.
The Russians took half but left after 40 years.
Yeah. Seems like a good plan lol

Let's just try to control our own borders and keep our eyes to the pacific please. Europe is small potatoes.

Well that line of thinking is exactly what was wrong with the world for the thousands of years prior. Trying to conquer and rule people. The US just wanted to try something different.

You can be a nation or an empire.
Not both.
