American Politics XII: We Can Do Bad All By Ourselves

[Mossadeghist Iran]

One of their few virtues, if you ask me.

How is that a virtue?

Ideally, if there had been no Cold War, we'd have returned to our own side of the Pond and stayed there. Without a Cold War, we would do the same today.

Isolationism just reduces our influence at the benefit of China

Only in their sphere of influence. We get our sphere, they get theirs, etc.

Republican politicians are not isolationist. Most of them are in favor of supporting Ukraine, and the handful who aren't want to focus on China instead.

Trumpers (most of the gop currently) are isolationist

Not me.

Good for you. Too bad it’s taken the majority of the party.

I miss Nelson Rockefeller and I wasn’t even alive in that era.

Yes I too would like to labour under the oafs of Kremlin.

I mean Sweden would have been the first to fall in the event of such event.

More seriously without the Marshall Aide post-war most of Europe would've gone over to Stalinism.

Technically it began with Barry Goldwater but didn’t really begin until Reagan.

Had the Republicans fully embraced Liberal Conservatism or an American version of Benjamin Disraeli’s One Nation Conservatism I might be a Republican.

That’s nice. Now if only that was mainstream in the GOP today.

We are not your tributary states and you are not the Ming Dynasty.

Why did you bring up the Ming Dynasty?

Define "grateful". And without resorting to "well Trump said it so it must be true".

Without a Cold War, that would not have been an issue. But since we and Stalin were enemies after the war, we had no choice but to do the Cold War. After it ended, though, it should have stayed over.

[Diuhon]

They don't pay the NATO 2%
