How would you run your country's foreign policy?

[Costa Fierro]

I thought the French already voted to recognize Palestine.

[Olerand]

I thought the French already voted to recognize Palestine.

The parliament passed a bill urging the government to do it, but foreign affairs is of the domain of the executive.
The executive does not recognize Palestine, so neither does France.

[American Culture]

Non-interventionism. Repeal NAFTA. Open up trade with Cuba.

[Napkiraly]

Build nukes, bomb everything, live out my Fallout/Metro 2033 fantasy.

[The Cold Place]

Alienate half the nations in the world. Attempt to contact aliens to boost stock market. Cut Isrealli aid. Refuse to recognize Pakistan, India, and Belarus as countries. Bomb Belarus, deport Texans there.

I like you.

[Braberbourg]

Away with foreign aid, out of the EU, close borders for uneducated hordes of luck-seekers... -Err, I mean "poor people we always need to help" (Yeah...), and only allow educated people in.

Glorious Dutch economy will become even more glorious with these reforms.

[Atomic Utopia]

I would make the following changes to United States foreign policy.

1. Attempt to reduce forces in southeast Asia while reducing our dependence on oil with nuclear energy.
2. Withdraw all support from the partial and comprehensive test ban treaties and begin new nuclear weapons development.
3. Become less interventionist and lift trade restrictions on Cuba and Iran while attempting to move both to more democratic governments.
4. Attempt to decrease the military size while still maintaining defense by expanding tactical nuclear arsenal, announcing this should help with preventing war.
5. Lift ban on the sale of fuel reprocessing facilities.
6. Sign Kyoto protocol.
7. Lift most tariffs.
8. Develop peaceful nuclear explosives for export to allies.
9. Attempt to increase diplomatic ties with china as they are the de facto regional superpower.
10. Increase foreign aid and diplomacy efforts.
11. Attempt to develop an international space program with China, south Korea, and the EU.

[Arab Jamahiriyahs]

I wouldn't change much on my country, continue aid in Ethiopia and others, participate in summits and everything else just goes the same.

[Crimiea]

I'd cut everything by 50% or more, withdraw from the middle east, stop supporting Israel, and cut most humanitarian aid that's going to despots.

Because honestly, America is not the world's police, our presence is not needed all over the world, and we have more important matters to attend to at home than meddle in the affairs of foreigners who hate us.

We have common ground here.

But I thin supporting the Kurds would be a good thing to do, and it would win us brownie points with Russia, Iran, and Syria. Turkey might complain, but who cares?

Turkey is a member state within NATO which the United States is in. The most the United States can do is support a Kurdistan within the borders of Iraq and Syria. We'd have a cool ally near my proposed Israeli-Palestine Commonwealth, Turkey won't be mad, ISIS will have a harder time fighting, and we'll have lots of fun with Assad and Iran afterwards.

Or we can simply support Assad and Iran against ISIS, what the Kurds do won't be our business.

[Alizeria]

To be honest I don't think I would do anything differently. I might be a bit more transparent about the TPPA negotiations where possible, and I would have been a lot harsher on Ministry officials who bungled the recent case involving the Malaysian diplomat, but beyond that I'm pretty happy with New Zealand's foreign policy.

[Fortschritte]

If I were in charge of the US's foreign policy, I'd shrink the defense budget, stop funneling money to Israel, and commit to a relatively non-interventionist policy.

[Aurinsula]

I would isolate the Russians, try to rebuild relations with Japan and South Korea, apply considerable soft pressure to North Korea to get their act together, expand the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, get on better with Central Asia, and reach some kind of understanding with America that we were ultimately on the same (anti-Russian) team.

I'm a Chinaman.

[Trevor Phillip Enterprises]

The Australian Empire will finally rise ... Lord High Emu will hold his rightful place as ruler of all life forms ...



The army is ready ... to begin conquest!

[Murkwood]

I'd start an effort to overthrow thew government of Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, and Belarus.

Why Vietnam? They're pro-American.

Doesn't matter. They are Communists. Plus, they don't have the full backing of China right now, so it'd be easier.

[Murkwood]

I would do the following:

• Seek FTA's with Brazil and Mexico. Expand exports into emerging markets like Peru and Colombia. We currently trade more with Venezuela than the rest of Latin America combined. Failing that, try to negotiate a free trade deal with Mercosur.
• Publicly support opposition organizations in Venezuela.
• Remove all foreign aid for Tonga. Use said aid to increase the standard of living in the Cook Islands or Tokelau.
• Cut off relations with Fiji.
• Push for UN-sponsored referendums in Crimea and Novorossiya.

What's with Fiji and Tonga?

[The Greater Holy Roman Empire III]

, quadruple military spending and call it a day.

[Estado Nacional]

Doesn't matter. They are Communists. Plus, they don't have the full backing of China right now, so it'd be easier.

Have you ever heard of realpolitik? Nobody gives a shit about ideology anymore. If you're going to start overthrowing governments just because you disagree with their ideology and not because they pose a significant threat to your country, then thank God you'll never be in charge of your country's foreign policy.

I'm looking at a career in foreign policy, but I'll be lucky if I get the post of Deputy Ambassador to Macedonia.

What's the point in overthrowing a government just because you (and I say, as in you, Murkwood, not your country, the United States) don't like their ideology? The Cold War is over. I doubt many people in the State Department would be cool with creating political instability in pro-American nations just for shit and giggles.

[Lolomz]

Withdraw our military from NATO integrated command. Torpedo TTIP. Recognize Palestine if Israel elects a hard-right coalition in the coming elections. Adopt a neutral position, favoring Ukrainian sovereignty but not Ukrainian EU membership in the crisis to the east.

Boycott the EU's Council until the Treaties are renegotiated/abolished and new ones adopted.

And such related actions.

On Israel 2015 elections ,What Your Definition For Hard-Right Coalition?

On Israel 2015 elections ,What Your Definition For Hard-Right Coalition?

An alliance, as seems to be about to happen, between Likud, Yisrael Beiteinu, The Jewish Home, and possibly Shas and United Torah Judaism.

I already consider The Jewish Home as hard-right, but the inclusion of Yesh Atid and Hatnuah in the coalition ensured a center-right nucleus. Now without those two parties, the next Israel government can go as far right as it wants.

[New Hampshire Republic]

Make the Defense Department actually for defense. Not offense. I would try to end the Federal Reserve system (pretty hard to do), and I would try to cut back on foreign aid.

Also, cut back on Nukes.

[Tarto (Ancient)]

- Try to maintain good relationship with USA, Poland and other Baltic countries.
- Support allies in military operations
- Increase military spending by 50-75% (up to 3.50 of GDP)
- Increase political support to Israel
- Focus less on African and third world nations

Simple.

[Mandicoria]

I would challenge every foreign leader to a cookie eating competition.
