He obviously believe that the United States only has value as a member of the international community.\u00a0 He ignores the fact that the internatiional community has only functioned effectively when led by the U.S.\u00a0 One would think the Russian veto at the UN would have made this pretty obvious.\u00a0 This is not just wrong it is dangerously delusional.<\/p>\n<p>Then he finishes with a sentence that is remarkably incoherent.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The point is that\u2026there are always going to be bad things that happen around the world and the United States is the most powerful nation in the world\u2014understandably is look to for solutions to those problems\u2026.
