There are some fantasizing anti-war protesters here, who, like liberals in the past, seem to imagine that there is no warrant for the US to be the world’s police, that is can exist in extreme isolationism, letting the Chicoms, militant Muslims; fanatical Kim robots and their ali Putin to do their thing, as if in a dozen or so years the Us would be faced with a word dictating its terms to the US. But, since it overall is at war with God, maybe is should stand down anyway.
That’s a perfect description of the Liberal Internationalism foreign policy that had roots in Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and then achieved dominance with WW2 and the Cold War.
Anything other than America playing global policeman is “extreme isolationism”, which of course would have the apparently unified evildoer regimes of the world dictating terms to a craven USA.
I know our neocon pals love this stuff. The genius Dubya and his merry band of nation builders and democracy exporters said it would culminate in The End of History. War is good.
