Feel free to define what "concentrate" means here. Budget, mindshare, public announcements, personnel.

@evan AIUI, the idea of the US founders was that state governments would be mostly responsible for domestic policy, and that the federal government would provide a common defence and enforce free trade; the USA was envisioned as something like the EU, but with the military no longer run by the member nations.
On the whole, that seems like a wise way to structure the US, though there's not any realistic way from here to there...
I'd say states should be about 100% domestic, the feds about 50%.

@evan what does the percentage even MEAN?
The US is Rome. We have and always have had serious issues, domestically, including being in the throes of teething for a country with under 250yrs. However, being top dog in a global scenario means your domestic safety is directly, inextricably linked to a stable, mostly safe world.

I thought this was interesting. I saw a quote by Marjorie Taylor Greene yesterday, where she said America should stay out of overseas wars. I don't agree with her on much, and my motivation to keep the US from going to war is probably a lot less racist than hers, but we agree on this point. The US needs to stop going to war.

We do have a lot of responsibility in the world, though. Human rights, climate change, sustainable development goals, peacekeeping. We have made a lot of messes and we need to help clean them up.

So, I'd say something like the low end of 76-100%.

This is nice. We need a full-throated defense of Wikipedia at this point in history, and Hank sums it up pretty well. #Wikipedia

@DigiDavidex @webhat @WillyECoyote69 Purtroppo non credo che sia quello.

@kims if it were a scientific survey instead of a Fediverse poll, it would probably include a few demographics questions!
