Should we be isolationists? Could we be if we wanted to?
>>58106224
Why ? USA is still the superpower
>>58106263
It's only a matter of time before the US bites off more than it can chew, if it hasn't already. And since when did US intervention do anything useful?
>>58106224
Isolationism is a cuck ideology
What we should do is use our powers for good
>>58106224
Yes, but only for like five years just to fuck with the rest of the word and watch and laugh at how deep the holes they dig for themselves get.
>>58106395
>What we should do is use our powers for good
Nah, fuck that. Non-Americans are shit.
>>58106395
>for good
kek. Even if it was a good idea to waste money on feelgood policies, how often does "doing good" mean causing some dumbass domino effect.
Look at Libya. If you're going to do "good" you can't make half measures. And we can't afford full measures

>And since when did US intervention do anything useful?
Since WW1 maybe ?!
>>58106486
>>58106395
Why don't we just do evil?
>>58106519
Back when the US was isolationist, and intervention was only something we did when we saw clear, obvious benefit. Now anything gets our dicks up.
>>58106555
>>58106555
Because that's wrong, anon
>>58106224
>yes let's throw away the most powerful empire in human history and allow for an unprecedented power vacuum because of muh jeffersonian values
>>58106630
So what? Never bit the British in the ass.
>>58106660
>power vacuum
you mean like what happened after we intervened in Libya?
>>58106372
South Korea
>>58106783
On the flip-side, North Korea.
>>58106555
agreed american empire when?
>>58106224
Not isolationist. But much less involved in every shithole.
>>58106674
They weren't evil, just self-interested
>>58106621
Correct answer
We do "good" instead
>>58106679
It would happen globally
>>58106679
yeah, but worse
>>58106967
>globally
Proof?
>>58107063
Europe, 460
>>58106395
There is no good or evil at the state level. The primary concern of all states is survival.
