Yes, the US should have supported its sister republic in its struggle against counterrevolution

I probably would have supported the Royals against the savagery of the Jacobins, just as a lesser of two evils, but there was no way the public would have gone for it. Staying neutral and letting the bloodthirsty radicals destroy themselves was probably the best course we could have taken.

No -the United States at that moment in history was in no shape to support anyone.  It could barely hold itself together at that early stage.  George Washington and John Adams made the right call.

Kinda funny how everyone becomes an interventionist when it's convenient but takes the "cool" stance of not supporting "meddling in others' affairs" and condemns "war hawks" the other times.  Further proof that you're stupid if you refer to foreign policy views as "left/liberal" or "right/conservative."

Not sure what you are talking about here. The U.S. wasn't exactly a world superpower in the 1790s, so it' not really comparable to modern foreign policy.

No - The US didn't have the resources and shouldn't take sides in other country's affairs anyway.
