And while you're withdrawing your troops from non-US countries, please
remove your diplomats, your meddling, and your arms sales from any country

I would certainly support that plan.  Can we rely on our allies in France
(for example) likewise to cease the sale of arms to any country that doesn't

specific meddling.  Are you advocating that Canada removes all its
diplomats, too.  Countries shouldn't have any means of communication open?
