I would consider myself a libertarian, but do my foreign policy beliefs refute that title?

I disagree that we shouldn’t be the world’s policeman honestly. Or let me instead say that I don’t think we should engage in war that is not defensive of our established interests in Europe and East Asia. But I think the US has a responsibility to support the nations that share our values in support of a more peaceful world. On the note of a power vacuum - if we don’t play hardball to some degree and defend our allies, I think we risk the expansion of Russia and China in global affairs. China already plays a worrisome role in Asian and African politics. I don’t like the United States being the policeman of the world, but since I think it is an inevitable position for some superpower to hold, I think that a country which supports peace, freedom, and justice for all is the right candidate. A necessary evil almost.

Ron DeSantis that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past received its first approval Tuesday. 13 million in China were barred from going outside, even for food, and the lockdown rule-breakers are being publicly shamed by parading them through the streets. Fuck the CCP and their authoritarian bullshit. I'm sick and tired of people pretending that COVID lockdowns and restrictions don't have any mental health side effects.
