Isolationism did us so well last time and got us world wars. But I guess people forget history or don't care about it............ We are the police of the world so we never have to go through great wars again as we stop it before it starts or ontop of it so we never get caught off guard again. We facilitate peace & stability on the world theater for our own protection.
There is nothing wrong with that as keeping the peace has brought US and everyone else on this cursed flying rock in space the most historic prosperous century humanity has ever experienced as a byproduct.
We created the new world order and became the world police to stop, prevent, or be ontop of any global catalisim so we never have to go through such great catastrophe again like the world wars.
When did the American people become so incredibly blind & naive? Talk about a snake eating it's own tale.
BTW the foreign aid everyone so worked up over is for
leverage for the things mentioned above and nothing more, not about helping people. Sadly it never is, but is necessary to keep our advantage in any threat posed to us. But again I ask, when did the American people become so blind & naive?...

Sticking our head in the sand does not get rid of threats.
In fact given historical statistics people are dying less in wars then ever before in human history:
