Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military and a political policy of economic nationalism (protectionism). In other words, it asserts both of the following:

Non-interventionism - Political rulers should avoid entangling alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense.

Protectionism - There should be legal barriers to prevent trade and cultural exchange with people in other states.


Since the creation of ICBMs this type of philosophy has become obsolete.

So you'd wait for all hell to break loose in the middle east before lifting a finger for is it just a matter of fuck them completely? When Israel launched it's nuclear arsenal onto the Arab nation in self defense don't ya think that the effects would be felt here?

I'd rather nip it in the bud early than to suffer the effects of the latter.

Have a good one!:s4:
