More like what we did under Reagan where we acted decisively when our country or citizens were attacked or in imminent danger like with Granada and Libya, but used influence and support, not military might, to help freedom fighters in their own counties and stood unequivocally against totalitarian regimes like the USSR using skill and diplomacy to beat them (not to assuage them).
Yea,like the Marine guards in Beruit that had No ammo in their M-16,so as not to upset the locals.
