There is a long list of policies on which the US Government is pressuring foreign countries in order to achieve a universal legislation. This deserves its place on this page, as soft pressure can be just as significant as an all-out blockade or war. Please expand it as appropriate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.62.99.129 ( talk) 16:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in Talk:War hawk#Requested move 21 May 2019 about whether War hawk should be moved to Hawk (foreign policy). The discussion could be closed as early as today. Sorry for the late notice. R2 ( bleep) 18:32, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

@ TheTimesAreAChanging: I believe that the article as it stands deviates from WP:SUMMARY and also needs work regarding WP:PROSE, WP:EXAMPLES, and WP:OVERQUOTING. The page's size can be significantly reduced by converting lists to prose, removing excess examples, summarizing quotes, and removing outdated statistics, and I believe that this would allow for a more concise summary of the subject (especially since much of this information is covered on more specific articles as per WP:SUMMARY). The structure also leaves something to be desired, with related subjects tacked on as separate sections, and I would like to consolidate these based on policy area. The only sections that I think should be significantly reduced are the section on the 21st century (which focuses disproportionately on 2017) and "non-participation in multi-lateral agreements" (I argue that a list of things not done is undue and indiscriminate); both of these sections should probably be reduced to a single sentence at most.

I've restored my additions and some of my formatting changes. There are still massive cleanup issues that need to be addressed in the article and some sections probably need rewrites, but for the moment I've simply marked some of the more immediate issues with templates.
