When you look at the various conflicts that exist across the globe, some between nations, and some between factions within
individual nations, how involved should the United States be in trying to maintain peace. Should we be promoting democracy in
other countries, or focusing on interventions that best help the United State's economic and security position? Should our all
volunteer military be used to intervene in violent actions that don't directly (but maybe do indirectly) threaten the United State's

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

When I look at the various conflicts that exist across the globe, some between nations, and some between factions within individual nations, I consider that the United States should not be involved in trying to maintain peace. That has created the international image that the United States is an interventionist country, trying to exert power and control over other nations. Furthermore, the United States has many internal political,  economic, and social problems, that it should focus first on offering solutions to its citizens,

The US shouldn't be promoting democracy in other countries. The US should be focusing on solving its major problems such as racism, political division between the two political parties, and many more issues that the country is facing.

Nobody has named the US as the official "protector" of other countries. The military should not be used to intervene in violent actions in other countries. It has to remember that the US is not the only powerful country in the world. It is one of the most powerful countries at the same level as China, Russia, and the European Union. So the conditions have changed so much since World War II times. This is a different world.

What most all other countries feel about our approach to foreign relations is that the United States is an interventionist country that invests millions of dollars in warfare, instead of investing that money in programs that help its citizens. Social programs in health services, homes, and better infrastructure for the poor and the minorities such as black people.
