This is stupid. If we went militarily isolationist we’d have no allies as they’d all decide they can’t trust us, which means our trade just went into the toilet
Given that we support our allies far more than they support us, this is likely to be the only area I agree with Thomasi. The world needs us far more than we need them.
That doesn’t mean we abandon them. Trade is extremely important, if we abandon our Allies they can decide that trade with the US isn’t worth it and we start to go into a economic tailspin as we are cut off from the global economy
