We could have, and we should have. But those choices were made by different people than us. Maybe if we had made some other choices instead of just nationalist ones we could have had an ally by now. But as you said, we’d have no eternal enemy to point to, and imperialists love state enemies.
Voters absolutely have a say in foreign policy because they absolutely have control over how their representatives vote. If anything, they have undue influence due to rampant gerrymandering.
Are you being sarcastic? I can’t tell because I’ve seen your other posts and let’s just say your takes are really something, so it’s hard to tell if you’re being serious.

My takes are the truth, which rubs a lot of people here the wrong way.
If you don’t believe you have a say in foreign policy, consider that maybe as small a number as 100k Americans just ousted the Speaker of the House.
It’s not my fault most people don’t understand politics at all.
