Top Ten U.S. Presidents with the Worst Foreign Policies

While he hasn't been in office for a year yet, he's already piled up a disastrous reputation. He got the U.S. further involved in Syria after claiming the U.S. shouldn't be involved, he stepped up drone strikes which kill innocent civilians, he's supplied more aid to Saudi Arabia, and the list, sadly, goes on.

He's aware that Russia is trying to manipulate our nation, and he's doing nothing and still saying that Putin is a friend, which he is not. Plus, he's a massive jerk to all of our allies.

What foreign policy? He is a major warmonger. All he does is diminish and alienate allies.

He invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, opened Guantanamo Bay, and tortured convicts who never had a trial. He also expanded the power of the president by an extremely large margin.

He supported violent dictatorships in Latin America, funded the contras, and funded extremist groups in Afghanistan.

During the Vietnam War, when he attempted to send hundreds of thousands more troops, his own party ran against him, causing him to drop out. Additionally, he promoted J. Edgar Hoover to report directly to him and retained him until Hoover's death.

Hoover is widely regarded as one of the worst and longest-serving human rights violators in American history. It is perplexing how the same man who signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, an initiative that originated with JFK and RFK (before JFK was assassinated in 1963), could elevate someone like Hoover, who appeared to oppose those principles. Hoover's name appeared on both his COINTELPRO list and an earlier custodial detention list, along with Eleanor Roosevelt, the author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, much to the dismay of FDR.

He invaded Iraq, which began an unfortunate family tradition. He also aided the Reagan administration in supporting dictatorships in Latin America, many of which committed genocide against their own citizens.

He lied about wanting to end the Vietnam War to gain votes. He actually expanded it and didn't pursue efforts to end it until it was clear that victory would be impossible without further expanding U.S. forces, which would've been politically impossible. He also committed treason by interfering in the initial peace talks during the Johnson administration to have a better chance of being elected.

He continued Bush's policies of unnecessary American intervention in the Middle East, which has killed thousands of innocent civilians. He also had U.S. civilians overseas assassinated without a trial because of a possible, but not definite, link to terrorism.

Polk desperately wanted to expand the country's borders, by force if necessary. Therefore, he agitated Mexico until the country attacked, and Polk declared that the U.S. would invade Mexico in the name of self-defense.

He invaded Cuba and suddenly got angry when the country began to build a nuclear stockpile to deter another invasion. If the Kennedy administration had recognized Cuba's sovereignty and not authorized the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis probably would never have happened.

Like LBJ, he had a masterful domestic policy, but Teddy was a warmonger. He once wrote, "I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one." Nothing spells patriotism and love for one's country like going to war over trivial things to boost soldiers' morale. "Night at the Museum" will never be the same again.
