How should a nation-state develop its foreign policy in accordance to its values and in connection to the development of its domestic policy?
First it is important to understand foreign policy and it includes the military and economics. We make the largest military and it is the most powerful. The U.S. along with Britain was the one of the first countries to industrialize. A nation-state should develop a foreign policy that is not only going to protect the American citizens, but also make this country strong. When dealing with foreign policy it is important to remember that we need to continue to develop domestic policy. When dealing with foreign policy and intertwining with other countries the U.S. gained many investments.
The United Sates has a struggling economy and each day I notice that we are focusing so much on other countries and helping other countries when in reality we should be focusing on our country and making it stronger. There a millions of Americans without jobs, but because our outsourcing and promises to other countries (foreign policy) we cannot give the citizens who live here a job, someone in the Philippines has to take over a call center. I mentioned the call center issue, because I just had a friend lose his job at T-Mobile, because they shut the Denver call center down and moved it to the Philippines. This is very upsetting to know that our economy continues to suffer, but because we are a country with many values we continue to support other nations.

Are we involved with too many nations?
