Wasn't it an old American say "speak softly but carry a big stick"?

IMHO, western policies are too often arrogant and weak at the same time.

Political correctness and its dreams of a westernised one-world
imposes our not being "nice", not even when it would be in our best
interest, and at the same time keeps us  eminently vulnerable.

Historical experience should show that such external "help" is a
recipe for disaster - including to some extent for the "helpers".
