Can you foreverwar guys do anything better to defend your position than namecalling. Is that all you have to explain your geopolitical strategy for the United States.
Only isolationists want to close the southern border. Only isotionists want the US to stop deficit spending. Only isolationists want to spend scarce national defense resources defending vital national interests. Only isolationists think that Ukraine is not a vital natioanl interest but standing by Israel in taking out a UN/US funded nest of rapists and murderers is a vital national interest.
The western nations who gave up their empires have since made no effort whatsoever to regain them. Only MOSCOW is sending its' armies out to reconquer newly independent nations like .....Ukraine! Bulgaria, Romania, and the entire Balkans will not be far behind, because control (by brute force) of the exit from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean is their medium-term goal, as has been stated plainly by Muskovite geopolitical strategists.
So yes, the USA has a profound interest in halting the reconstruction of Moscow's empire. THAT is what our geopolitical strategy must address, and we must do it NOW.
“Isolationist” is not “name calling.”
The term refers to, as you wrote, but I will paraphrase:
A person who believes that his/her country should not engage in certain types of overseas adventures - usually and especially, should not engage in one or more foreign wars.
IMHO, I believe:
- we should have defended Kuwait vs. Iraq
- we should NOT have further invaded Iraq in 2003
- we should NOT have been messing around in the Balkans during the Clinton Admin.
- we should support Australia, Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan
- we should NOT support NATO participation in wartime, east of Poland and east of Romania.
And regarding that last point, we should have made clear to Moscow, that Ukraine would NOT be part of NATO, but a Russian move into western Ukraine would probably cause those two countries, Poland and Romania, to take steps to occupy buffer zones in *WESTERN* Ukraine in order to stop Russia from closing up to their borders.
GIVEN that Moscow’s complaint is for Russia to NOT be near NATO . . . then Moscow should NOT move toward NATO.
I dislike that Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are at the mercy of Moscow, but the most that NATO can do for those three countries is - not in wartime - to assist with equipment for their self-defense.
Regarding our borders, if
- war in eastern Europe
- war NOT in eastern Europe
. . . either way, the left would have engaged in its monsterous subterfuge: its “progressive” grande invasion of the U.S.A. by literally millions of illegal aliens, some 300,000 plus flown into the U.S.A. by the Biden Admininistration as a blatant, clear, dangerous, hostile act of treason against the U.S.A.
To wit: The left would continue its socialist revolution against individual liberty, and against our Constitution, and against our worthy American Heritage, foundations, principals, . . . mother, and father.
To the effect, that large numbers of our fellow American citizens are the actual economic, politically isolated (by massive leftwing vote fraud), and socially at risk (subjigated by morally corrupt “Government by Judiciary of Peoples’ Courts (in the public eye)” that assigns the gender and color of people).
So, I am a freedom fighter, a conservative, a Republican, a soldier, sailor, and just an ordinary person who opens the doors for people, provides directions for lost visitors, cleans up the mess for people who look around for help, and gets between bad people and good people.
Here at FreeRepublic.com, I lend support to people, I write about what I think about a topic, I point to Jim Robinson’s Code of Conduct as something that applies to each of us, and I try to honor his request.
Because here, I want people to learn to write well, and at all times be able to respond to a liberal, with well-stated arguments in support of our maintaining freedom, liberty, and love of truth.
Instead of people engaging in activities that would cause a passerby to notice the bar room knife fights . . . instead of noticing some writing by a Freeper that would cause that passerby to THINK about the blessings and foundations of our freedom.
We only have the rights we defend, as long as we are able.
We are only as free as we make the effort to know why.
