| User ReviewTon QIt's true if the US was no longer around the world would be a terrible place to live |
| User ReviewAhmed EThis British documentary examines the benefit of the US' military presence to global geopolitics and humanity itself, in the face of global chafing and thanklessness. |
| User ReviewDameon BBest movie ive seen in awhile and it very cool and interesting |
| User ReviewScott HI believe it was a very good analytical prospective on this question. |
| User ReviewDenise PHighly recommend this documentary to all those who oppose the US involvement in world politics |
| User ReviewLeroy WGreat documentary! Explains why US isolationism isn't a realistic option. |
| User ReviewMatthew TVery much changed many of my views on foreign policy |
| User ReviewDylan BBut if the US concentrated more on national issues than international issues it would possibly gain more respect and tolerance. Can't and should not judge ones country by it's government, but it's unfortunate that some ass-clowns such as George W.Bush Jr, Tony Blair should get into power and turn a nation upside down. It as a country and the people have given a lot to western civilization, such a pity that the elite families, political greed and power have made it look like ancient Rome all over again. All empires crumble at some point... |
| User ReviewJames MThis is a film with an agenda. The only possibilities explored were negative consequences to the removal of American forces from various hot spots around the world. For example, when examining the Middle East, we see Kuwait with its high standard of living, totally reliant on US military protection. And indeed if we were to immediately withdraw from the region with no warning, there would be negative consequences. But this is the only "what if" that gets attention in this film. What if Kuwaitis had to sell off their super cars and start buying tanks? Would they really be incapable of defending themselves? The same conclusions are drawn in all the regions explored in the film, with the same obvious questions not being addressed as though they are less possible. The final question asked is what would happen if we left Japan to defend themselves. Would China accept their apologies for past military action and allow them to build up their own defense? The question is answered immediately afterwards with a poorly done CGI nuclear explosion. While the film was an interesting exploration of a certain agenda, an unbiased documentary this is not. |
