Yes, it’s an actual foreign policy article that says “Unites States”
Yes, I’m dunking on that and not their actual argument because I’m a lib
The world wants less US "influence" abroad; the US populace generally wants less as well, mainly due to being dead tired of paying for the various misadventures rather than any sudden jolt of conscientiousness. During the Trump era when this was written it could even be said that the POTUS (and pretty much no one else in politics- both parties and the blob/"shadow government" beneath them actively worked to sabotage this agenda, the army even admitting afterwards to lying to his face and stalling to keep in Syria despite both the popular demand, and the demand of the elected POTUS) wanted, in some degree, less "influence" abroad, at least in the MENA region, Europe, and perhaps the whole old world to begin with.
The MIC and the warmongering, neocon elites who dream of unlimited tyranny, monopoly, white supremacy and their thousand year reich will never accept such a thing, and for the US and the west in general, those are the only opinions that matter. As we've seen since.
It's not at all being a lib to just point at a fundamental tenet of their actual argument and laugh at its absurdity. You owe no further engagement. They even followed it with "Hence...". Everything they've built upon this is doomed and a waste of everyone's time.
That's not what they're dunking on. They're just dunking on the typo, "Unites States"
The person you were responding to was (tongue in cheek?) implying the typo was a critical part of their argument given that this literally was their thesis
"The United States want less global influence" sounds about right
