I advocate for a non-interventionist America, and I certainly would not start World War III over Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan (I'm assuming that's who they'd mostly likely target).Novus America wrote:We already have a bipolar world anyways.

Not quite yet. Global economic activity is still overwhelmingly dominated by the United States, especially the settling of transactions.
Some probably are serious about trying it, ultranats are not usually sane on their goals. The Russian ultranats are often like US Neocons on PCP.
Noninterventionism is not viable given our ties to the global economy, and many Russian ultranats want revenge on us, their ambitions will not stop with just a few neighbors (which would set a very bad precedent and cause havoc to the global economy).
On the last that is not the point, sure the US has the more significant economy for now, but we did during the 80s too. In a bipolar world both powers are not perfectly balanced in all things, but rather simply far ahead everyone else.
