Dumping NATO and re-evaluating standing forces does not equate to isolationism.
It is time to reevaluate who our friends really are.
we need to stop becoming the cop of the world!
Nations don't have friends, they have interests.
When nations have common interests and work together for mutual protection that makes them allies.
