I think I was being slightly non-serious, but it just seems so ludicrous, you know, our foreign policy. Whatever it is today.

Serious or not, forming and implementing a coherent foreign policy is difficult in the post-Cold War era we are in at the moment.
Foreign policy towards whom? There's really no such thing as a blanket, generic foreign policy, especially when you are a (or the only remaining) world superpower. Relations with each other nation are going to be different, for a variety of reasons, including geography, culture, trade, past relations, history, alliances with other nations, etc. Also, relations with any given nation change over time.
