Americans Prefer To Mind Our Own Business, But Washington Wants To Intervene -- Everywhere | The Daily Caller
Bonnie Kristian 5-12-16
Nearly six in 10 Americans say the United States should “deal with its own problems and let other countries deal with their own problems as best they can,” found a recent Pew poll, but Washington seems determined to do exactly the opposite.
There are already more than 150,000 American troops stationed outside U.S. borders, hosted on some 800 bases in about 70 countries — not counting unknown thousands more in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and other war zones like Yemen. And still Congress and the Obama Administration are preparing to deploy even more American soldiers abroad, apparently to all corners of the earth.
If that sounds like an exaggeration, I assure you it is not.
Right now, our government is mulling an expansion of military presence in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Eastern Europe—literally almost every continent on earth besides our own.
