There has always been an isolationist component of the Republican party that is in opposition to any activity beyond the American borders. Being critical of Thune who expresses an American need to act in the World is neo isolationist.

Neo isolationist is now as opposed to the similar thoughts of the Republican isolationists of the 1930’s

Anyone of these people pushing for years on end for anything their constituents have no interest in or are opposed to is not from some idealism you want to make up or put them in

You Zeepers are a right royal ignorant conceited dangeroulsy deluded group of folks. Point out Ukraine is a dangerous scam that is a strategic distration that we cannot affort that is on a straight line to WWIII while we cannot protect vital sea lines of communication, much less our own border, and you call names.

Figuring out priorities with very constrained resources and and exploding national debt is not isolationism. We need to set priorities and I am sorry that a lot of us think that your dysfunctional money laundering scam isn't on that list of global priorities.

Ukraine is none of our business. It’s a 400 year old border squabble between two hyper corrupt oligarchies. There are no good guys on either side. The idea that we need to sink billions of borrowed dollars into that quagmire is madness.

Well, we have enough problems here at home that we can’t currently handle, and a president who either created or exacerbated them. RIGHT NOW, at least, WE NEED TO SOLVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS before we help anyone else with theirs. I don’t call it isolationism- I call it focusing on our own survival as a country. Right now we are fractured, split into so many factions that Lincoln’s words A house divided against itself cannot stand”are louder than ever. We can’t win Ukraine’s war for them. I’m not sure we can survive ourselves the way we are going. Is Ukraine’s border more important to you than our own?
