I just came across this article published from Gatestone Institute. Very interesting considering how we are viewed as war monger.Is the United States Abandoning the Free World?

There is great anxiety among Africans who are peace-loving, and who care about democracy and human rights, that after the U.S. presidential election next month, this concern for people who care about democratic values and human rights might stop.
The understanding in Africa now is that the United States is showing signs of feeling over-burdened with taking the lead role in world affairs. But the implication of this abdication is immensely dangerous.
America no longer looks like the country that extended its soft power to Western Europe, in the form of the Marshall Plan, shortly after the Second World War. Was this the same United States that made its hard power felt to rescue the free world and ensure that it remained free? The stabilizing role of the U.S. is needed now more than ever.
We need America's leadership. There is simply no other free country that can adequately provide it, to maintain peace in the continent. Who will be there for us to "talk softly and carry a big stick," where and when it is necessary?
It's weird to come across an article like this after we are accused of meddling the world's affair.
What do you think?
Thanks all for your read and or comments if any.

It's a hardline neocon think tank thst produces the kind of thinking which gave us two elective wars that (we were told) were going to be funded by tax cuts.
Some might claim there are a few bubbles in said think tank.
(See War Is A Racket vid.)
A country owned by banksters?
Abraham Lincoln & John Kennedy were the only two Presidents who attempted to end the Federal Reserve Banking Cartel.
Can you think of anything else they have in common?
What next?
It's a great country, Jim!
After all, we're allowed to believe we elect our own dictators.
Seems duturte blames this historical event on why the us should leave and the reason why, as long as the us is there, there will be issues
Reading the "Project For The New American Century" would be a helluva good place to find our where the last one came from...
So we'll be better prepared to foresee the NEXT one.
I suspect we might find a point of disagreement on some of the details.
You go to your church...I'll go to mine.
Obama is opposite that arrangements.
I was with a group both pro Trump and pro Clinton.
I felt that the debate went well.
Then, the spin doctors took over. Now, I must say, they did loose control.
As I left, I was approached. His dialog went as follows.
"I was going to vote for Clinton. Then I was thinking of a third party vote. After listing to the spin doctors, I am voting for Trump!"
My answer: "I will not vote for the existing system, whoever opposes the existing system, I will vote for".
Our conversation was over heard. A unanimous agreement I heard from all.
It is still largely a beef country and this is unsustainable... the corn, maple syrup etc.,
This effects us all, even over here in Ireland. in fact very much in Ireland.
