Other nations I can name ARE better. The most dangerous nations on earth are the US and Israel. They are both going down because they can't learn how to survive. Why have we never used diplomacy in our state departments? Other countries do, such as Sergey Lavrov, for example. No, Scott, I am no longer a patriot. I've become hasbara and propaganda proof.
Scott, she is just following her boss! At the end of his address to the nation, Trump said "God bless Israel, God bless America," in that order. Even he put Israel first and then USA. This man is supposed to be our president, lol!
And that Scott, is why you should be President - You could bring the very peace sought, you have the Military Experience, UN Inspector Experience, Intelligence Agency Experience,you are a dedicated and experienced Husband and Father, you know how to to talk to people, and to lead and command them, you project strength with Peace, and you know, and respect history. You have the very stuff of good leadership - Your Country NEEDS you, so do many others. Is it a pipe-dream, or is it possible ? That's yours to decide. :-)
Sorry, Scott still equates the US with America, and ignores that there are not only three Americas but also the US is but one nation-state in these Americas. It is that obfuscation of the mind that, along with a few extremist dogma walkers, invites in the chronic US regime change terrorism.
I want very much to share what Scott Ritter has to say. However, it seems to me that first we need to course correct his rants. He casually and ritually says "America" when he seems to actually mean the USA. Those three letters are more precise! They stand for The United States of America. I am not an "America Firster!" I am a citizen of my family and my neighborhood first.
Can one see how America is first if we cannot make our respective neighborhood's first prior to putting the nation which is today exceedingly corrupt? Are our neighborhoods all equally or more corrupt than the continent of America?
Also, what's with the habit of assuming that the US is the only nation in America?! Please, sir!
No one can justify sustaining that haitual/ritual arrogance.
The Israelist response to this is that it’s impossible for Israeli interests to even conflict with American interests. Israel is only “helping”, promoting “shared values”, “saving civilization” from “mutual enemies”. They really believe this. Scott’s audience knows it’s false. But the average low-information American is oblivious, so this rant will not have much of an effect on them.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding putting America first. Here is my thought on the topic:
A citizen who puts his/her country first need not think their country is the best. A citizen can know there are countries that are better governed, have more stable economic systems, have better functioning, less vulnerable infrastructures, eats healthier food, has a healthier population, takes better care of its natural resources, has a more literate citizenry, experiences fewer internal revolts, is less prone to initiate wars that are not directly related to its national security. Even while knowing these facts, the citizen can hold dearer to his/her heart their own country, be entirely loyal to their own country —- put his/her country first.
There is no need to deceive ourselves regarding such things. To do so is to be intellectually slothful.
My high school’s football team was NOT the most successful team in our league. During the years I played we were out-scored in the majority of our games. Even so, I was loyal to our team. I did not wish to go play on a different, more successful team. Yes, I didn’t like it when we committed stupid mistakes. Even so, I and most of my teammates did what we could to help the team improve and win more games. We put our school’s team first.
Had someone asked me which high school in our league has the best football team, I would not have named my school. It’s possible to be loyal to one’s team, or to one’s country, without having to think either are the best. JW🐸

Does Scott ever read the comments?
