Should the united states go back to a policy of isolationism?

Answer 1

Your question reminds me of an episode of HGTV's "Designed to Sell".

A woman wanted to sell her house for a fairly hefty price, but she had let it become dilapidated. The whole place was a mishmash of cobbled-together repairs and Band-Aid fixes. She admitted she hadn't set foot in the water-damaged, spider infested basement in six years! Still, she thought she could get a lot of money for the place.

Europe is every bit as self-deceived as this woman who wanted to sell her run down house for big bucks. Practically no nation on the continent will admit to the huge problem with terrorism. Some of these nations are being overrun with Muslim immigrants who turn out to be intolerant to the society of their host countries, but the governments turn a blind eye to the problem, hoping it will go away.

The U.S. is the only dose of reality the world has right now. The United Nations is completely useless. They prattle on about nonsense while Africa starves and rogue nations flout rules against nuclear proliferation.

I love to travel. I've visited a lot of countries, and I've always tried to experience a country as a native would do, not have a sanitized bus tour that trots out smiling locals to sell me fake handicrafts. I wish the countries of the Middle East were not so volatile; I'd love to visit there.

The U.S. is like a teenage boy who becomes a reluctant parent. He wishes he didn't have to work two jobs and be responsible all the time, but now he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. It's the same with the United States. We would like nothing more than to withdraw from the world and not be the responsible adult. We'd like to be unrealistic and careless, like France, but we can't.

I don't know how much longer the United States can continue to shoulder this responsibility. I think we're rotting from the inside. Huge swatches of our country are like that dilapidated old house from HGTV. Places like Baltimore, Detroit, Cincinatti, Gary (Indiana) are practically burned out wrecks.

To see how low our country has sunk, watch this movie:
THE BOYS OF BARAKA.

Answer 2

The United States should promote truth and freedom abroad by any honest, upfront and affordable non-violent means and use means that will do the most good for the most amount of people while at the same time solving the worst problems, and trying to limit unanticipated side effects of those changes and have honest evaluation listening to the opinion of all of humanity and especially the citizens of the nation. And the balance between overseas investment and domestic investment must be considered as well.

Answer 3

Even though most of the world remains poor, it is much richer than it used to be because of international trade. So are we. To return to isolationism would reverse that.

Answer 4

Early 1900's? pretend it quite is even as the progressives were in workplace (Wilson, Roosevelt) or perhaps as imperialism turned right into a large element. america changed into no that isolationist till the excellent melancholy even as it needed to focus on fixing it really is monetary equipment and not in any respect about different international places.

Answer 5

No we shouldn't and I don't think we are. A lot of people just don't like Hispanics for some reason. Inferiority complex I guess.

Answer 6

if that means, the US of A stops policing the world and imposing its brand of democracy to the rest of the world, yes it should.

Answer 7

Way to late to unring that bell

Answer 8

yes. let others fight it out among themselves. we can always pick up the pieces later....and the oilfields....screw them foreigners

Answer 9

I don't think so, but I do think we should practice neutrality.

Answer 10
