But the US is going headlong down a path of perceived World Dominance ,and any opposition looks like an attempt to undermine America's Security.


This is the victim position. Your arguments don't hold up to scrutinity. Instead of upgrading the quality of your argument you blame your opponent. This provides the justification to judge the moral position of those of who disagree with you. Once you establish that you have the moral highground you don't need to understand the opponents point of view. They are bad people and therefore their ideas are bad.

It is tedious to debate with some one who takes the superior moral ground and all you can do is ignore them because they don't have the first idea about what you are saying.

This is understandable but highly ineffective.
