This statement doesn't hold water. Apply it to Iran, NK, China - it doesn't seem to bother them. Sooner or later, we will have to take the fight to them (sooner is better). A lesson we should have learned from WW2...
Iran is only in this position because of the Iraq War. It broke them out of containment and gave then unprecedented influence in the region. And all Iraq and the overthrow of Gaddafi proved to North Korea is that Washington cannot be trusted and to rush development of nukes as fast as possible. American hegemony is cracking and nobody wants the wars your advocating for.
Nobody respects America because they see it as an Empire on the brink of collapse.

The only lesson the interventionists seem to have learned from WW2 is that the whole world must be occupied by the US in order to “make Americans safe”. It’s really just code for imperialism.
