I have to chime in here and say that I partially agree with tcmay. I think we 're all used to the current status of the USA as being a superpower and superpowers have to show force but that's not what tcmay is talking about. tcmay is saying that the constitution only gives the federal govt authority to send its citizens to war to defend the country directly NOT to defend economic/political interests of the country outside its borders. On the other hand, when a country has alliances the ally is considered part of the country so when your ally is attacked it's as if you're attacked and then you have to get involved. The question remains, do we need those alliances or do THEY need us? My point of view is that the current administration is trying to achieve something similar to PAX ROMANA and we all know how that turned out.
