Are people just not interested in U.S. foreign policy?

Asked by thisismyusername (2940points) March 21st, 2018

I asked a question a couple of months ago here regarding the U.S. involvement with the Saudi bombing in Yemen, yet few showed interest. Yesterday, 10 Democrats voted with Republicans to table the Sanders resolution, and many people yawn. The bombing by Saudi Arabia is taking place with US bombs, (Saudi-purchased) US jets that are being refilled by the US military (mid-air), and is leading to the starving of millions.

Of course, the corporate media doesn’t provide the details or context of our behavior in the world, and is really just interested in selling scandal (Russia), which does nothing but support the status quo.

It’s plausible that we can wage a domestic fight against a Republican administration while simultaneously keeping our eye on what our tax dollars are funding outside of the U.S., right?

Do you feel that people are generally disinterested or just don’t really know what is going on?

What do you feel about foreign policy? Is it secondary to domestic, or do you feel they are linked?
