Actually Isolationism is exactly what we need to do.
We can't be the World Policeman, we need to close most of the overseas bases, bring all of our troops home and let these people kill each other as they have for thousands of years.
We need to concentrate on our country, put the troops on the southern border and close it once and for all.

BTTT!

I do not understand how people think we can continue to wage wars everywhere, when the nation is completely bankrupt. We are no longer an actual superpower, but a financially bankrupted and morally corrupt, nearly-lawless nation.

We will not even be able to pay back the SS that some of us have paid into for 30-40 years+++. The politicians will not secure the border, which is one of the most basic tenets of the lousy government. Are we just supposed to keep printing money to fight lost causes thousands of miles away??

What we really need is “enemy isolationism” and that is basically we need to stop giving our enemies foreign aid. Cut off all foreign aid to countries that don’t like us and cut in half foreign aid to countries that are neutral to us. Why the damned hell are we even sending ANY money to Egypt or Pakistan, we would at least be doing better giving the money we give to egypt to israel and Pakistan to India.

It sounds weird but we need to “Saul Alinsky” our enemy foreign countries, that is Isolate and Ridicule them.

"Actually Isolationism is exactly what we need to do. We can't be the World Policeman, "

Total agreement on ending expending our treasure and blood as world policeman and nation builder. Balanced trade with the world, military intervention for none. Let others fight their endless battles. Enough with this 'everything on the table' involvement.

Protect America with an unexcelled military. Nation build here, nation build now.
