Believing that American Foreign Policy is at the root of all of the world's problems is like a badge of honor among anti-establishment crank types.

Mikhail Gorbachev was a visionary leader. The refusal of the U.S. to help Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed was typical of America's arrogance and lack of visionary foreign policy. If we had helped Gorbachev then, Russia's path would probably have not been toward a Putin.

No, I don't think that.

Well, that's what your tweet says about the collapse of the Soviet Union, and then it goes on to say that it's "typical of America's arrogance." What am I missing?

Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan. You don't see any problems there? The US has also done some great things, but we're not going to get out of the quagmire we're in by denying the huge shadows and mistakes of our past. The fact that we deny them is why too often we repeat them.

OK, well the collapse of the Soviet Union isn't one of those shadows, and you're imagined mistakes that led to that collapse are not typical of American Foreign Policy.

You’re twisting my words but that’s OK. It’s Twitter.

Your understanding of US Foreign policy is seriously flawed…you need do a lot more reading and research on the topic…perhaps contact Tom and get some reading you could do.
