Has Interventionism Jeopardized America’s Future? – OpEd
==========
President George Washington warned against entangling alliances. The US defense budget is unjustifiable, totaling $801 billion in 2021. The Department of Defense (DOD) recently failed its fifth consecutive audit. The US has among the highest debt-to-GDP ratios in the world. The Iraq war cost the American taxpayer upward of $3 trillion. The US funded mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan, leading to the formation of the Taliban. Foreign aid programs are notorious for their ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Most global events that affect the US do so because American policymakers want it that way. The cost of maintaining a large American empire is not justified morally or monetarily. The United States should reevaluate its designs on world primacy.
