The last time the US went isolationist, the League of Nations collapsed, Fascism spread from Italy to Spain and Germany, Japan went full military dictatorship.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

China and Russia are not going to magically become isolationist just because the US does. The world would not become better or worse, just different people suffering because other nations have more time to oppress them instead of positioning against the US.
Putting the US fighting against Hitler in WW2 alongside US regime change Iraq and Iran is an odd comparison, ngl.
this was my thought but I was not sure how I wanted to phrase a reply.
Having "Hitler" and "US" in the same sentence... So hot right now
?
I mean to be clear, killing civillians is a bad thing, but letting Iran' government having nukes is also a terrible thing.
Its not like an all or none. Its possible to "intervene" without civillian deaths.
If only we could just take out their dictators with precison strikes without harming any civillians. (I mean with how advanced the US military supposedly is, I don't see how they couldn't just execute such a strike)
That said, a republican having control of the US arsenel is another horrible thing... I mean like we should just give it to blue states honestly...
You mean we let Putin do whatever he wanted to?
Let China stroll into Taiwan?
You mean we let Putin do whatever he wanted to?
LMAO
Agent Krasnov says hi 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸
The world would breathe a big sigh of relief.
ETA: I don't think "Operation: distract from the Epstein files" is about oil.
Iran is about supposedly have uranium that can be processed and made into nuke...
I never understood it but remembers Saddam's last words to soldiers. That he played he had WMD because of Iran. And said I ran is going to be holy hell when war happens.
