LOL.Yeah statist interventionists ALWAYS refer to nonintervention as isolationism. It is their way of denigrating the Founder’s policy. Pure propaganda. Can’t have lots of war following such a policy and can’t enrich and empower the ruling class. You must have noticed this right?Again we disagree.After WW1 the U.S. adopted a very foolish foreign policy of Isolationism. If FDR had not managed to get America involved the Nazis would have been victorious.
Even today many misguided folks want us to withdraw from the World scene....simply not possible if we want to remain a viable nation.
The great danger we face comes from folks who want to deny the threats that our enemies pose. They want like obama to defund our military and sincerely believe everyone wants to be our friend if we do what they want.
The policy was NOT isolation, but non-intervention. We sure could use a lot of that today.
What nation has been at war nearly nonstop since WWII? What nation has invaded more nation’s than all others, since WWII? What nation has been responsible for the deaths of civilians over all others?

A brief history of American isolationism
If you think our foreign policy these past several decades, is admirable and effective. You need to think again.
Did I say Isolationism is admirable or effective...of course not...ridiculously stupid.
If England, France and America had not be so isolationist or non-interventionist if you prefer.....Germany would not have been able to re-arm and once again go to war.
Not even to mention other foreign policy failures....right up to this day aka the loss of China to the Communists, the failure to defeat N. Korea, the intervention in the Suez Crisis by Eisenhower, the failure to support the Hungarian revolt against Communist Russia in the Stalin era, the failure to win in Vietnam, the bay of pigs fiasco, somalia, and the invasion of Iraq instead of Iran.
You are far too cynical.
Clearly our government’s policy of constant intervention has been a failure, to say nothing of the millions it has killed.
Well, we are still here...clear evidence we have done something right. We have not killed millions.....exagerration does not help your position.
