Who said this:
"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them."
And who Said this:
"peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nationsāentangling alliances with none.""
Only Washington and Jefferson
How UNAMERICAN of Thomas Massie!

Your thought makes sone sense. Except that but got the alliance with France and French assistance, the American revolution would likely have failed. And without the Soviet Union, the allied war effort could well have failed in WW2. Alliances have always been a part of nation statesā affairs. As a very practical thing as well as ideological.
At any event, Iād be happy to discuss your more isolationist position (not a put- down in the slightest) after the IDF eliminates the threats to her country.
I cannot approve or support the backstabbing of an ally during hostilities. The timing is totally immoral even if we were to agree on policy. (And the messaging to the rest of the world, including nations like iran that are sworn to attack, nuke usa, destroy America) is disastrous.
Sincerely,
FHC .
