WWII was not caused by American isolationism. That’s idiotic. I know it’s hard to believe, but there used to be a time when not every war on planet earth was automatically an American war.
The danger today isn’t isolationism, it’s us being involved in everything.
I can think of
at least three major conflicts where we are supporting both sides.
Syria, Israel/Pali, and India. There are probably more.
Hundreds of millions live under dictatorships that are close friends with. That isn’t exactly good for us.
We have over a thousand bases worldwide. The danger we face is that most people don’t see us as protectors like they did 5 or 6 decades ago.
The world War coming is when some nuke nations decide the world would be a little better if we got knocked out in a surprise first strike.
A little isolationism is just what we need. And to build our society and economy back. A powerful military and a crumbling economy was the trademark of the USSR.
Sig !
We protect the Saudis, that’s been our foreign policy since WWII.
OK; that’s a blanket claim sans evidence, when the evidence is against it. Aside from passing five Neutrality Acts, FDR withdrew US forces from the Caribbean and allowed Mexico to nationalize US-owned oil industry assets; he also stood by and refused to help China against Japan, which is reminiscent of how Obama’s standing aloof against Red China today. Italy’s annexation of Ethiopia not only made the US look weak, but also Britain.
