[Da Bilge Troll]

"For us or them?"

For us. We tried some of these isolationist ideas after WWI and they made war more likely. How much of Europe would we be willing to let Russia have before we got involved again?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Actually it could be argued that it was the abandonment of the isolationist ideas which we had embraced up until World War I that lead to World War II.

While we remained aloof from the little European squabbles they remained minor and the affect on us minimal.
