Good point. One that I don’t necessarily disagree with in sentiment, but, as a matter of historical fact, Washington concluded a mutual defense treaty with France in 1778(or thereabouts), thus creating the first entangling foreign alliance of the young United States.
Look it up and learn how “entangling” this treaty became as tensions between Britian and France escalated and the undeclared naval war vs. France broke out under Madison’s watch.
Washington’s “policy” and his “reality” turned out to be 2 different things. Maybe like Ron Paul, it sounds good until reality intrudes.
