    Why Western Europe’s interests as opposed to the world’s interests? Western Europe is doing relatively fine, it seems to me that I have a greater responsibility to look out for the global poor, especially those who are suffering due to US intervention.

      It’s because I have a high opinion of France, Spain, and Portugal. Especially Portugal.

        But why should US politics be oriented towards helping people who are already wealthy and secure instead of people who are poor and vulnerable, especially when their situation is our fault?

          It’s because I want a Western European style constitution instead. And I don’t speak Portuguese.
