The US government’s failed foreign policies and military interventions have had disastrous consequences for the country’s economy, says an American writer, media commentator and former professor.
The economic and employment situation of most people in the United States has “been ruined by America’s foreign adventures,” said E. Michael Jones, the current editor of Culture Wars magazine.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan launched by the George W. Bush administration, as well as international trade treaties by other administrations have left a “disastrous effect” in many manufacturing states like Indiana, Jones told Press TV on Friday.
These policies have “pit the people against the oligarchs and the people now have reached the level of consciousness about the bad consequences of American imperialism abroad,” he added.
Most Americans say it would be better if the US just dealt with its own problems and let other nations deal with their own issues as best they can, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center.
The survey, conducted April 12 to 19 among 2,008 US adults, 57 percent of Americans want the US to deal with its own problems. Just 37 percent say the US should help other countries deal with their problems.
And 41 percent of Americans say the US is too involved around the world while 27 percent say it is not engaged enough.
The poll also found that 49 percent of Americans say US involvement in the global economy is a bad thing because it lowers wages and costs jobs.
These are among the main findings of America’s Place in the World, a survey of foreign policy attitudes conducted periodically by Pew Research Center, an American think tank based in Washington, DC.
While Americans remain skeptical of US international involvement, many also view the United States as a less powerful and important world power than it was a decade ago.
Nearly half, or 46 percent, say the United States is less powerful than it was 10 years ago, while 21 percent say it is more powerful, and 31 percent say it is about as powerful as it was then.
