So, we protected American shipping in the first 2 decades of the 1800s, the had no foreign adventures until 1898. Since then, we've been involved everywhere. And it was always leftists that got us involved. Conservatives wanted to mind our own business.
As to great Britain speaking German, again, couldn't care less. The case could be made that the terms at the end of ww1 led to the economic situation that resulted in the nazi party coming to power. If the allies had been more interested in trade than they were in vengeance, ww2 might have never happened.
If we judge the current world situation applying the logic of interventionist, the world should be at perfect peace under the leadership of the US. But that's not the case. There is still as much conflict. The only difference is that the US govt has spent the treasure and manpower of the country to enrich the political class.
Now, let's imagine that Russia is he'll bent on global dominion. Ask yourselves, are we better prepared after wasting hundreds of billions in Ukraine and expending all the munitions there that we have? Are we better off having worried more about Ukraine than our own southern border?
I would have to say that I think interventionism has been a failure.
(And to everyone who analogizes about bullies. Bullies pick on pussies. Sorry, but someone had to explain it to you.)
