I'll start by saying, their is much to admire about the west in terms of their human rights which creates a sense of peace among it's people and their freedom values allows for ideas to flourish without fear, coupled with their good governance based on consistent/repeatable rules for all and not unpredictable opinions or imperfect strong men like most of the world. This has led to their tremendous civilization leading in wealth, knowledge, science, security.
But their foreign policy really sucks, if that was measured the losses they have achieved probably outweigh their economy. Every historical area in the world, their seems to be a blood-bath or instability, why? Mali-Timbuktu Libraries, Sudan, Ethio, Somalia. Baghdad-Syria-Yemen. Is this a concentrated policy to leave the mid-east and africa to peoples and countries who have no long history beyond colonialism? if that is the goal, then their foreign policy is working, how-ever if that isn't the goal, then why is this emerging?
Don't give me that the West is infallible and perfect, you can enjoy hollywood movies and how America is the hero and everyone else is a villain narrative, but that's for entertainment, you need to switch off ur hollywood minds to reality, the reality is the CIA proved they cooked up intel on Iraq having WMD in broad-daylight in-front of the UN and the world to fit their government narrative.
The govt doesn't set the narrative in most intelligence agencies, the intelligence sets the narrative the govt should pursue based on careful analysis of intel through a number of techniques such as balancing it out with other intel sources, researching history, finding root causes, repetitive actors, goals/motives of intel source, testing character of the person to present their negativities/weaknesse, and many more. But that's not what we saw, so anyone who believes America is perfect even after that, your in a wishful thinking bubble.
