It is not automatically immoral for a nation's government to put the needs (or demands) of its constituents first. Technically, that's what government does anyway. What indeed is immoral is to brutalize groups of people, either inside your nation or outside of it, to achieve putting your nation first. You can advocate for your own well being without boldly and arrogantly blasting everyone you think distracts from that policy. Side: No
I don't think it's really a question of morality. A government putting the country first is just a practical necessity. A country could not function as a unit if it put the interests of another country above its own. I think it has the potential to be applied immorally, but it's not immoral in and of itself. Side: No
