"Containment?" Really? By the vooch theory of nouveau isolationism, world problems just fester away in their own sectors on the other side of the world and nobody has to ruffle a hair on their heads, the problem will just go away on its own.
Remember how well "containment" went with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan? Oh, that's right - we ended up in that anyway, didn't we? And everything was a whole lot bigger by the time we finally got into it, didn't it?
"Containment" might have worked back when long-range missiles hadn't been invented yet and our own home-grown traitors hadn't handed the Soviets nukes and we hadn't grown big enough or influential enough to need allies - but that changed, didn't it? "Containment" was what we were doing in Korea in the '50s and in Vietnam in the '60s. Nice to know that you think it was all unnecessary now, even though you supposedly espouse the Kenney doctrine.
Hiding our heads in the sand won't work anymore, probably never did. Remember Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates? Wars come to us, eventually. It's the price of being here.
You can spout all you want about how things will be dandy if we just stay at home but if you're at all rational, you know full well that if the Taliban are allowed to take over Afghanistan again and/or ISIS is allowed to go unchecked, more innocent people all over the world are going to die.
How are your opinions any different from the Left? They think everything will go away if the bad 'ol US just dries up and blows away. All of this is to excuse your own lack of gumption, isn't it?
when the taliban ruled unhindered, heroin didn’t flow on American streets.
ISIS is a minuscule guerilla band. If you honestly believe ISIS represents a threat to the USofA, then you must believe we are weak and helpless.
Government Schools really fed you the FDR shillboth that America First = Isolation. Hardly.
