Foreign policy

in German published 2017-10
Politicians who have a rosy worldview (see socialism) advocate an ideology and, like all ideologues, have missionary zeal. This missionary zeal leads them to point an incriminatory finger at other people.

        And the do-gooders want to remove all dictatorships in developing and emerging countries, whatever the cost. In Syria people have tried to overthrow the bad guy Assad. As a result, half a million people have died for nothing and several million Syrians have had to flee.

We have no business interfering in the Middle East. We are infidels! When we intervene, we are considered crusaders.

Countries that are not yet ready for democracy (such as Russia, Turkey and China) are punished with contempt instead of being encouraged to take small steps towards democracy.

We must not forcibly impose our understanding of democracy and human rights throughout the world, because in doing so we will cause great harm and not help the people living there.
