“You may have noticed the swamp has not been drained as of yet.”
And won’t be. We can’t even straighten out our own, so called, supporters starting with the head of each house, Ryan and McConnell.
I think you are trying to make isolationism and multiple conflicts as opposites. In the case of Russia, they substitute one for the other and have since they got hammered pretty badly by Germany in WW II. They have had a horrible fear of invasion as they have been many times over their history. They fended off the invaders, but at a heavy price each time. They literally burned their bridges behind them and waited for winter to freeze out those that dared to go into their “turf.”
So they took that new tact I mentioned and “bribed” other little countries, like N Korea and now Syria, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and a number of other middle east countries, to fight their little smoke screen conflicts to keep the world busy and forget them, for them. They delegated.

“I think you are trying to make isolationism and multiple conflicts as opposites.”
Actually, no.
I was saying that just because I don’t want to engage in endless and expensive wars/conflicts doesn’t mean I do want to live in isolation. It is not an either/or proposition.
My only point is that it is foolhardy to waste the lives of America’s best and trillions of dollars in endless and senseless foreign entanglements while neglecting to solve our own very serious problems.
I understand people disagree.
