So I'm saying this strictly just from my layman's point of view on world politics and such. I'm an average American with nothing extraordinary or anything like that. Mostly conservative, but strangely liberal about some things. Strong in my faith, but that's my faith and the way that I live my life.

Iran: I am totally ok with him calling them out and not our own allies. Why? Because Iran is not our ally! You deal with both situations differently. Much like disciplining a child. If its your child you take one approach, if it's not your child, you take a whole other approach (imagine you're baby sitting or something). Secondly, that treaty is a piece of trash. Especially since they aren't even honoring it.

Venezuela: Ok with this too. Look at what is happening there...corruption, socialism, and the fact that their single biggest resource is on it's way to not having the commodity strength it once had...and the country is falling apart.

"Major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell": Calling it like he sees it. North Korea is a good example. South Sudan is another one. Venezuela is going post apocalyptic all on its own. Those would be some that are actually going to hell. Many places are in conflict (Myanmar, Islamic State areas, Israel/Palestine, and Western Europe is a hot mess of consistent terror attacks).

As for your last paragraph...I'm more then happy with that. I'm pleased with that. He isn't the President of the World. His goal isn't to be popular overseas. He is President of the United States. We should come first. I am not apologetic about that. Where people can cooperate for the benefit of all....sure. But if push comes to shove, I'm picking America over <insert country here>. Think of it like being on an airplane when the oxygen masks come down. You put your mask on first, then help someone else. This is us putting our oxygen mask on first.
