I feel like the United States is always meddling in other countries affairs and yet still climbing further into debt. Kind of like someone giving you advice on a golf course who is terrible themself. Is it the military presence? Economic relationships?

I’m just wondering- I do not know but – Could it be that they owe so much? Other countries have no choice but to allow things to go on as they are lest lose money they are owed? Also. What they have bought with said money is scary stuff. Weapons…etc?
