When considering the relations of the United States internationally, Washington said "the Great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign Nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible." These words have been ignored by the United States. The fact that the U.S. is a power nation is no secret. This sense of superiority can be viewed in many Americans who seem to believe that because they are “superior,” they have the right to tell other nations what to do. Teddy Roosevelt proclaimed that the United States, because it was a "civilized nation," had the right to stop "chronic wrongdoing" throughout the Western Hemisphere. This power has allowed the United States to continuously violate the National Sovereignty of other countries. They intervene in any country that is of economic interest to them. This United States intervention has been known to cause euphoria in many countries in many countries. Recent countries include many Middle Eastern Countries as well as Latin America. This intervention destabilizes those countries, destroying their political, social and economical system. The U.S. tries to shape countries in which ever way proves more beneficial for its own interests. This intervention also has negative effects on the U.S. It creates a negative view around the world in regards to this country. People all over the world view America as a country who thinks they have the right to do as they desire. This makes it easier for countries to form alliances against the American government. These rocky relations with other countries affect the economic situation of the U.S. since difficult trade relations in regards to oil are present with countries like Venezuela as well and Middle Eastern Countries. “Every U.S. policy shift, every military intervention, every CIA plot has been carried out to secure one main aim: to ensure the cheap and plentiful flow of the world's most important energy resource--oil.” If this need of interrupting other countries in order to solve domestic problems doesn’t stop it could cause the alliance of many countries against the United States and its undemocratic policies.
