Andrew Yang - Why I Believe His Foreign Policy Is Good
In this YouTube commentary, the host argues that Andrew Yang’s foreign‑policy stance—though often overlooked—represents a deliberate, non‑interventionist approach akin to Ron Paul’s ideas. He contends that Yang’s plan to pull U.S. forces out of overseas bases, end regime‑change operations, and restore Congress’s authority to declare war is a strategic move to reduce U.S. entanglement and collateral damage. The speaker highlights Tulsi Gabbard as a natural ally and potential cabinet member who could implement Yang’s vision, especially in defense or state‑department roles. He critiques current U.S. policies such as trade wars with China, the threat of accidental nuclear conflict, and ongoing military interventions, arguing they make the world less safe. Throughout, the host urges viewers to reconsider Yang’s foreign‑policy credibility, share their opinions, and participate in a poll about whether Yang is “too nice” for the presidency, with a prize incentive for participants.

Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And today I want to talk Andrew Yang and how great his foreign policy approach is. Now I know that might blow some people away because the running idea has been that Andrew Yang has great domestic policies, but when it comes to the foreign policy arena, um, there doesn't seem to be much going on there. With Andrew Yang. And at first glance, I pretty much agree with everyone else. I said that, right, yeah, he seems weak in foreign policy, but everything else works so well. Maybe he can get people around him that are good at foreign policy that can handle those things in the areas that he might be weak on, right? We have many presidential candidates who've never been in the military. But just because they haven't been in the military doesn't mean that, uh, um, they can't, uh, be commander-in-chief. But what it's going to rely on then is good generals, uh, over the military armed forces to instruct them, right, and to give them the necessary information. So it's delegation of these things, you know, as it is. Uh, so why all of a sudden then am I seeing through a different lens that Andrew Yang's foreign policy may not be an accident, how he's approaching it, and why it might be a very good way to deal with his foreign policy. Well, if you look back at, or let me tell you who Andrew Yang's approach is very reminiscent of for me, and that is a situation like what we got with Ron Paul. So a lot of people start to like Ron Paul's politics because he would say common sense, logical things like, why do we have hundreds of bases in other nations' countries? We ought to get out of there, come home. That was Ron Paul's whole, um, the policy on, on those type situations, right? Get out, come home. We don't need to to be over there, right? Because by being over there is the first problem in foreign policy, right? The regime changes, all of those— the meddling that we've done, um, up until this point— the counter effect of that is the problem with foreign policy, right? So you have to start there, right? You don't keep going on with a, uh, a, a bad methodology and approaching foreign policy and just going, okay, let's try to, uh, overlay a new plan over the crappy plan that we have before. No, you have to undo the entire thing, right? Ron Paul didn't say, uh, well, let's do it this way. Let's send, uh, uh, a, uh, let's develop another plan on how to amongst these other nations in their lands and a variety of things. And the meddling in their local politics, right? In their countries, in their elections, right? The propping up of puppet rulers, as it were. All of that has to stop. And that's the part Andrew Yang gets that many don't get. Tulsi Gabbard gets it, of course, right? Um, and many, as German men, they say, well, someone like Tulsi Gabbard would either be really good for, um, Andrew Yang's, um, cabinet, you know, whether she be like a Secretary of State or Vice President or Secretary of Defense or whatever it is, whatever the case may be. I think she'd make a great Secretary of Defense, actually, because, uh, it, it, it seems Tulsi's strengths are more geared toward military, uh, presence in those regions and how from their point of view they look at it and the implementation of, uh, the regimes and how to deal with the regimes, right? Um, so in, in this way, what I'm getting at then is Andrew Yang seems to be the candidate who's gonna undo the root causes of what's been the problem with foreign policy. And the reason I'm able to kind of go there with this, and I can point to it and see what he's doing, if you look at Andrew Yang, right, he's a very smart guy, right? He's been a lawyer, first of all. There is no way possible that Andrew Yang has missed foreign policy, right? It's no way that he went in to be a president and put together all these domestic policies and somehow didn't think foreign policy was important. I don't buy it for a moment. I don't buy it. If you and I can sit here and figure out, uh, what to do about foreign policy, Do— are we saying that someone who went to several Ivy League schools, been an engineer, a lawyer, run successful businesses— are we saying that he hasn't figured that out yet, or don't, or doesn't think it's an issue or a problem? Somehow we're, we're just so much smarter than him in that? No. What Andrew Yang is doing is he's doing the non-intervention policy, which is sometimes the best foreign policy you can do. Also, what you have to understand— excuse me— what you have to understand with foreign policy is foreign policy is a dance. It's a game of generally something like sanctions, uh, treaties, embargoes, um, a lot of things that can come up when there are disagreements and action needs to be taken. But with all that put on the table, whether you're dealing with a foreign power that is just using many of the methods that you're using as a stall tactic to further develop their edge, right, or what have you, uh, whatever the case may be, uh, Andrew Yang has set it up that if it really gets to the point where a resolution can't be reached and we may have to come to something like a military incident, right? We may have to come to war. He has very intelligently put Congress back in the power to declare war, right? Which, how, think about that for a moment. That is one of the most genius things he could have done, because what that means is he makes this a decision for the country, right? You know, he makes this a decision that is put all the way on the country to decide as a country, is this what we really want, right? It's everybody's responsibility. And when Congress has that power, it's in our power to go check our congresspeople and get them out of there if they're making the wrong decisions, right? Put the congresspeople in there who are making the right decisions. But we make it as a country, right? There's no dictator or, uh, hero of the republic that just runs into this thing and decides this is what we do because they say so, right? This— these are— this is great foreign policy. Uh, and we're missing a lot of that, you know. We're missing a great deal. The best foreign policy is less intervention as possible, right? I'm not gonna go through this video on all of the governments we've replaced, leaders we've replaced, all of the coups we've staged, all of the false flag operations that have been done by the United States. I'm not going to do that in this video, right? But I can tell you much, much like the reminiscing back on Ron Paul's politics, which I liked very much. Uh, that was one of the, he was one of the presidential candidates I liked a lot in his approach to those very things, right? On how to deal with these foreign powers. And Andrew Yang's approach is very similar to that, right? We can, we can see that. I think it's— we're creating a very false narrative to make the assumption that somehow Andrew Yang doesn't think foreign policy is important enough for him to study about it, learn about it, and have a plan for it. He's done all that, and he's come to the conclusion that this is the best plan. He didn't miss it. We missed it. He's come to the conclusion that this is the best plan, and it is because The more you meddle, the more you try to bring policies in and control these other foreign powers, right? It doesn't get less complicated. It gets more complicated, right? We're looking at nations like Iran, right? That some believe we're trying to find a way to go to war with Iran now. Now think about that. Iran, does Iran act like a country? That wants to go to war with someone. They've been constantly coming over here trying to speak to universities, speaking to the American people to let us know what's going on, what goes on behind the scenes. Uh, those aren't really the actions. Same thing happening in Syria, right? These aren't the actions of, uh, countries, foreign nations that just want to go to war, right? And destroy America. And I think Andrew Yang understands all those things. And he, and he understands that one way to deal with this is stop the interference first, right? Uh, deal with our domestic policies. That strengthens America and it makes us safer because it stops us from disrupting the sovereignty of other nations, right? In turn, they want to do business with us, right? They don't want to be so much in conflict with us, right? Instead of trying to be this power player over their heads and this world police, right? And I think that's been our first main mistake and issue and problem And to undo that, you don't keep going down that same course, right? You have to get out of it. Sometimes the only way to get out of stuff is withdrawal. Just get out of it. Just like when they pull troops out of countries, sometimes it just comes down to that, right? Where there may be some, uh, some, some damage in, in that process, but you know, at the end of the day, it's going to be less damaging to us Right? So this is why I think Andrew Yang's foreign policy is fine. Why I think it's great. And I would love to see somebody like Tulsi Gabbard, you know, working with him in his cabinet to do that. You know, obviously as president, Andrew Yang is not gonna be out visiting all these foreign countries doing foreign policy himself. He's gonna send a Secretary of State, right? And so we would love to have a great Secretary of State, a great, uh, person, you know, in that cabinet who can, uh, who, who can do those things, yet do those things under these same ideologies of what the Yang administration sees for this, right? You know, so, so this makes us safer in the world. His foreign policy, I believe, will make us safer in the world. Whereas if we look at the foreign policy we're dealing with now, do you feel safer? Do you feel safer with trade wars with China that's destabilizing us economically? Do you feel safer with possible wars with Iran? You know, many of us want to peacefully coexist. We're not interested in the bravado of if you're getting picked on, if the United States is being picked on, taken advantage of, like, you know, kids at a, at a high school park someplace. Um, you know, this, this is serious business here, and every decision we make will have a, a result, right, in effect. And so we want to always make the ones that are the more advantageous to us and create the less collateral damage. Uh, but that's all I want to say in this video, guys. Tell me how you all see foreign policy and what are the most important aspects of foreign policy. I know Tulsi Gabbard was saying something, uh, like she believes that on the Joe Rogan podcast, she was saying something to the effect that she believes that we, we could go into nuclear war again. And, um, you know, I grew up back, you know, back during the '80s, um, when, you know, we were in the cold, you know, and it was still the, the, the arms race with Russia and the United States, and you know, the concept of a nuclear war happening was very real, you know, to us. And today we tend to think of nuclear war like it couldn't possibly happen. I'm more along the lines of nuclear war happening will probably be accidental. But I, you know, I would like to believe advanced— well, maybe I'm jumping the gun. I was going to say advanced civilizations like China and United States, uh, you know, would— you have to just come to conclusion that It's illogical to just start firing nuclear weapons at each other and destroy each other, right? And nobody's going to be the victor in that, right? It would probably be best to let, if it came to that, right? It might be best to let somebody get a little bit of the upper hand on trade wars or something like that. But whatever the case is, And her idea, it was that nuclear war would arise, could, you know, become the most dangerous, you know, thing to face, right? And, and, and so, um, that's one of the main driving ideas of her foreign policy, that huge threat of World War III, nuclear war, whatever you want to call it. Um, and I find that interesting to think about, but I'm gonna let you all think about— tell me all what you all think about that. Uh, tell me what you think about Andrew Yang's Foreign policy, let me know if you now see it from a different light or you still feel fine, you have different ideas about it and a variety of things. We'd love to hear about them. Also a quick reminder, we'll leave a link in the description. We got some prizes in a prediction game we play, a series of polls and statistics around the world. But we did one at the start of the week called, is Andrew Yang too nice? Where you can upvote or rather you can vote if Andrew Yang is either too nice or not to be president? Upvote. Monday we'll tell you who the winners is, and whoever voted in it will get a prize, uh, if you— if you, uh, if the more people voted, you know, that in favor that, um, he was too nice or not too nice. But I will leave a link in the description. And until next time, guys, take care.
