Going to war with Iran directly, fomenting regime changes and nation building would most CERTAINLY not an example of isolationism or MAGA/American First foreign policy.

It's neoconism, the same thing that failed miserably in Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush.

In fact, Trump aggressively campaigned against all that.

War is expensive and the US is $37 trillion in debt. Regime change in Iran and rebuilding Israel will add another couple of trillion to the tab. Beside I doubt regime change will go as easily as they seem to think.

[Telepathic Intruder]

It’s old and promotes war, such as WWII.

That's sort of putting the cart before the horse. WWII is what got the U.S. out of isolationism. I don't see it as a bad thing necessarily; in fact its preferable to being so enmeshed in world affairs that we forget our priority should be our own people and culture.

Levin is a clown. And he’s a parody with his knee-jerk interventionism.

Iran is a threat, we cannot let them acquire a nuke.

Trump is right, and his approach in the Middle East is likely the best Course of Action.

I hope it does pay off and that it not only blocks Iranian nuclear ambitions but also creates a lasting peace in the region.

But this isn't how you make an argument.

This just sounds dumb.

“...the old and failed foreign policy of the past and insisting that they’ve uncovered the secret, new way forward — isolationism.”

Levin is a neocon moron. Isolationism served us well until democrat presidents (Wilson and FDR) got us into world wars.

Remember he was originally a DeSantis never-Trumper. I’m glad to see him showing his colors now. It’ll ruin his reputation.

Regional peace and stability will be achieved with regime change. Russia will have to get its drones elsewhere. China will still get its oil. Oil price spikes can be mitigated by the Gulf states increasing output. Putin is fast and furiously making overtures to Trump and Netanyahu and offering his “mediation services”. We are witnessing regime change done right without the blood and treasure. Investment here comes with dividends. I like the return.

I don’t like a guy constantly shouting.

[EnderWiggin1970]

So we should just lash out and go to war with anyone who looks at us cross-eyed?

This is an unhinged rant that fails to appreciate that there is a fine spectrum of a near-infinite number of positions from absolute pacifist isolationism to warmongering nutcases. Levin positions himself more towards the latter end of the spectrum, and should consider the rather obvious failures (at very high costs) that the warmongers have achieved in recent decades. A more circumspect approach to foreign relations than they have practiced is certainly warranted by any sane measure.

I didn’t know that our isolation resulted in WW1... I thought because crown prince of Austro-Hungarian was killed. Or that because we were isolated, Hitler attacked Poland and Japan attacked Pearl Harbour...

[tballard56]

We all know where Mark Levin’s allegiances lie.
