I just don't understand foreign policy. I get the idea of soft power but nobody ever talks about how we are using it to our advantage. If people want to hype up soft power they need to start giving clear examples of how it benefits Americans.

CIA and state department slush funds per country. This is how we beat the Soviet Union and why terrorists and China don't have world domination yet.
You don't need to know who gets assassinated and who gets bribed because you are a confused pleb.

China has never been interested in running a global empire like the US/USSR. They're almost entirely focused on nearby claims like Kashmir and Taiwan. They're building economic ties, but that involves leveraging the fact that their economy actually produces goods people want to buy.

I'm certain that the Mozambique adult circumcision center is causing bloodshed but not the assassination kind.

Pretty much.
Every time I see soft power being used, it's how we should not be mean to so-and-so, or to tell our allies not to be too mean to an adversary.
Feels really backwards to me.

From what I can see on reddit, soft power is when you suck off Europe and the third world, and in respose they continue to hate you and call you the great Satan
