I certainly agree with most of your points, althoough ot your conclusion. I do not advocate isolationism, or a large-scale drawback to our own borders. In the Korean example, I mentioned Japan as the base in the region, obviating the necessity of defending Korea. If nations see us leave a Korea to its folly, they may be a bit more appreciative of what we do for them.
In reality, a proposal of a withdrawal would force the Koreans to eat their words almost immediately, a prospect that would be very gratifying. We can defend our interests from Turkey, Britain, the Med, Japan, Guam, etc., etc. without haviong to put up with this kind of crap.

Nobody has said a word about South Korea. Why die defending them? If NK is a threat, we can deal with them without supporting R.O.K.
