Where would the world be now? Just my point of view, but I hardly think pulling away from the EU would be at the top of your gripes.
I take your point.
If I recall, several decades ago there was a call for the establishment of 'Fortress America'.
America has all the resources it needs, I think. I'm not sure it needs any other country at all really. Its military resources especially are more than enough to defend itself against any aggressor. If America wanted to, it could keep its nose out of any foreign country and still remain perfectly safe even with reduced defence expenditure.
Fortunately, since the British Empire collapsed, America has voluntarily taken over the role of 'world's policeman', and I think we should be grateful for that.
