A commentary on America's foreign policy by the conservative political candidate and presidential candidate warns how we are presently being put at risk and examines the need for a new foreign policy that will put American first. Conservative Main.

"Present U.S. foreign policy, which commits America to go to war for scores of nations in regions where we have never fought before, is unsustainable. As we pile commitment upon commitment in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf, American power continues to contract-a sure formula for foreign policy disaster.

"The day is coming when America's global hegemony is going to be challenged, and our leaders will discover they lack the resources to make good on all the war guarantees they have handed out so frivolously; and the American people, awakened to what it is their statesmen have committed them to do, will declare themselves unwilling to pay the price of empire.

"A day of reckoning is approaching. It is my hope that the price in blood, treasure, and humiliation America will eventually be forced to pay for the hubris, arrogance, and folly of out reigning foreign policy elites is not, God forbid, war, defeat, and the diminution of this Republic-the fate of every other great nation or empire that set out on this same course."
