America: The Bully AMERICA: THE BULLY A look into American Foreign Policy BY: Al Miller The ending of communism or The Foreign Policy of the United States of America (which ever you choose to call it) has given the United States the power to become a bully through out the world. Since WWII, America has had a history of bullying smaller countries, but the power of America’s foreign policy was more evident in The Korean War, Vietnam, and the CIA’s involvement in Guatemala and Iran. Some countries and even some American citizens believe America is a bully. During the cold war, Russia gave economic aid to small countries and never made mention of war. America, on the other hand, used aid as a way to force the uncommitted countries to commit their neutrality and align with America. The annual debate on foreign aid in congress has made it clear the funds we provide to other countries are solely because of our fear of communism. (Spanier 200-201) After WWII, the constant threat of communism popping up around the world plagued the United States.
