Woodrow Wilson's crusade to make the world safe for democracy has gone beyond absurd. The echo chamber has been reverberating about what we have to do in the Ukraine. No one in the media is saying the answer is to just leave. The implication is that if we do, The Russkies are at the Atlantic in a week. So what? Europe becomes their problem instead of ours.
If the Old World wants to be sans Rus, their taxpayers can pay for defense.
Anyway, in the words of Will Smith in Men in Black, "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'." The trouble has our fingerprints all over it. (see here, but I suspect my few readers already have).
Justin Raimondo has an account at antiwar.com of our new millennium stupidity. I am linking if anyone needs a history lesson. We've been over the territory here before.
It's time to bring back all the boys from "Over There." Cohan could write a catchy tune, but it was dumb then, it's dumber now.
Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.
