Yep, that's a good rec for any country. Foreign policy decisions are among the most consequential that any admin can take, and what's alarming is that a decision taken by a bunch of guys in a comfortable boardroom can lead to years of hell for others.
I've been watching an excellent documentary series about the Vietnam War on Netflix (highly recommended) and learnt how that quagmire of misery got started because the US decided to back the colonial ambitions of former-ally, France, and refused to entertain the idea of self-determination for the Vietnamese people. In hindsight, the US put themselves on the wrong side at the outset - but nobody could imagine just how much sh*t their position would unleash.
