Question for Americans ONLY. (maybe GA inside?)

You should avoid creating topics with political content, because there is a chance of flame war :D

Keep politics and religion out of it. It never ends well ;)

As an educated american who's spent the last 10 years studying the constitution and historical politics of my country. I agree with almost 0 policy of my government. especially where it pertains to foreign policy, and states rights.

I already have this game, so I will answer.

I don't like this weak and passive foreign politics, they must be more active. I dislike berlusconi and his party, who licks ass of our enemies. I laugh at greek government, which is communistic and also licks ass(btw in huge crisis).

I mostly agree with my government, however we must be more aggressive, but we try to save more lifes. also we are trying to keep balance, but only winner and looser exist in war.

The poll has spoken. The conclusion is: Most of us are here for the giveaweay.

Sorry I really don't have an opinion on this matter

I've been blacklisted by you. WHY FELLOW AMERICAN.

I'm an Anarchist, so I'm pretty much against there being a government to make policies in the first place.

BRING ON THE FLAME WAAAAAARRRRRR

Ehm....Im Argentinian... I think we are americans too... You should put NORTH AMERICA people.. America is not only USA.

The answers are mutually given as if they're mutually exclusive, whereas some of them are not.

I am not interested in commenting my rationale for my vote, or any sort of expanded opinion on US foreign policy. The United States is the only current superpower on Earth, meaning we possess great power on the global stage. I believe the US is misusing this power for its interests abroad and intervening in countries in which it has no business being. I sympathize with the idea of spreading democracy and equality throughout the world, but when we ourselves fail to adequately embody these qualities, it is rather sanctimonious to expect that from regions far less developed than ours. Occupation has replaced colonization, but both typically involve some form of subjugation. I'm not keen on US imperialism. I believe the ideals and ethos of the United States are admirable, but when we ourselves fail to represent them, should we really be pretending like we do?

That's as far as I'm willing to expound. As a word of advice, you'll have far better results starting this thread elsewhere, or simply read old threads elsewhere about US foreign policy opinions. Better yet, you should do your own research and read the opinions of political pundits, then draw your own conclusions. I understand you want to hear an "American" perspective, but the forum for a digital video games giveaway site is probably not the best place for meaningful political opining.

Are you one of those people that include Canada as 'America'?

Where's the option for "I'm American but still just here for the GA"?

American foreign policy is terrible because it doesn't react to foreign trends. The Middle East is especially problematic- all the way from when we screwed with Iran during its bid for legitimate democracy, we've essentially stuck our foot in in almost every single time. Our two most powerful allies in the region (Israel and Saudi Arabia) are barely on speaking terms (which is to be expected) and we keep failing our interventions and failing to intervene when needed. The Iraq and Afghanistan not-quite-wars were devastating, but tolerating the butchers that are ISIS is both a tragic consequence of the fear of being seen as imperialist or exploitative and a lack of willpower by the political cadre in Washington D.C. This is not only a huge ethical problem, since we basically sit back and watched while Yazidis were victims of genocide and many Christians and Muslims who do not agree with the radical ideology of ISIS were murdered, it also has had significant negative repercussions in regards to international security. In waiting for a coalition, which is unlikely to form precisely because of the terrible failure of American foreign policy in the past, the United States has sacrificed any chance of solving the situation without terrible bloodshed.

The US government is more full of assholes than your standard dollar store brand hot dog. They're not for the people, so much as the people's money. And saddest part? Because of how the system is set up, the ones who're most likely to abuse power have the easiest way to it, and those who would not never had a chance.

It's something that's far too complicated to describe in just one forum thread, so here you go. You get a cat instead.

My government wants to give the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism access to nuclear weapons and Iran repeatedly said it will use them for genocide. That whole reset button seems more like being buddies with terrorists and telling our allies to f-off.
