Should the United States Adopt Isolationism as a Policy?

[Supersonic]

No. Rather not have Russia and China dominate the world.

[Supersonic]

No, we're not North Korea.

You are obviously confusing an isolated society with isolationism.

Haven't you seen that one guy's sig that says:


Switzerland is non-interventionist. North Korea is isolationist.

That's Jbrase's sig. And I would support a non-interventionist foreign policy, but not an isolationist foreign policy.

No. Rather not have Russia and China dominate the world.

This, essentially. The United States is the only nation capable of maintaining a reasonably pro-western international order.

Cassius, stop upholding Americans as superior to everyone else. Its not America's job to make the world "pro-western," and frankly, a world controlled by America would be an imperialist hellhole.

You are quite wrong. A world without America as the most important power (given that no other Western nation has the capacity to step into its shoes) would almost certainly be a disorderly hellhole, not one under American 'imperialist' domination.

I prefer the American dominated 'imperialist hellhole' to one of a Russian or Chinese vision.
