Real and cruel facts are that the blood flowing in the blood of Americans is the factor of isolationism. Without it, the United States will always be an isolated country.Today, Trump's popularity of Republican Party has obviously seized this key key.You must remind yourself from all over the world that if you are unfortunately caught in conflict, don't easily expect that the United States will be fully and fully help.
Former US President Trump is the most popular candidate for the Republican Party of the United States President in 2024. It has an overwhelming advantage within the party, and has a relatively advantageous advantage in Democratic candidates and current President Biden.His remarks have become the focus of worldwide attention. After all, this is a person who is likely to take over the world's most powerful country next year.
The most shocking of his many remarks is to withdraw from NATO, stop assisting Ukraine, encourage Russia to crack down on allies, and so on.In this regard, the world is very worried that Europe is particularly afraid that they will become the victims of the United States abandoned baby and the Russian iron riding; of course, many people think that the United States with a high level of political civilization is not so ridiculous and stupid.
In fact, the world should be awake, because the history of the United States for more than 200 years is most of the time that Trump is preached -isolationism is the most important political tradition in the United States.It's just an exceptional exception.
Historically, for more than 200 years of the founding of the United States, it can be simply divided into two periods. At the end of the 19th century (about 1894), economic strength jumped to the world's first time.Before that, the United States was basically unable to interfere with external affairs. Even if "Monroeism" was proposed at the beginning of the 19th century, it was impossible to do the affairs that fully dominated the Americas, let alone the dispute between the European powers.s Choice.After the 20th century, the United States has always been the world's largest economy. The influence of politics, culture, and military is also rising, and the ambitions of some domestic politicians have begun to expand.However, it has never actively involved in disputes outside the domain, especially the conflict between the great powers on the Asia -Europe continent, and isolationism is its most secure position.
在两次世界大战中，美国都是最后参与进来的大国，在参战前，几乎与战争双方都保持着畅通的联系，并从中赚取着最大化的战争收益，包括军火、能源、Resources and colonies, etc.; Until the discovery of the situation began to fall, one of them may have a huge advantage and then directly threatened the United States' own security, and the United States was slow to end.Even so, President Wilson before World War I and President Roosevelt before World War I was a non -mainstream politician at that time. It took a lot of effort to persuade domestic people to barely agree to participate in the war.Roosevelt's chattering "talker side conversation" became a true portrayal of the US isolationist thought at that time.
The United States in the world after World War II is unique, and most of the time can easily target any opponent or potential challenge forces; after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it can almost do whatever they want. The so -called international norms and international systems can be abandoned.EssenceBut the United States is still an isolatedist, because everything it does take its own national interests, rather than the focus of global interests.
During this time, the United States launched many wars around the world, and some of them are huge, but one thing is common, that is, the high risk of high income is small. Once the risk is too high, the income is not proportional.Withdrawing your military power.In the early days of fighting in North Korea and Vietnam, it retreated when it found that a larger -scale war broke out with China and the Soviet Union; after 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan, it evacuated when it found that it was unprofitable.In the face of the miscellaneous army, when it felt that the sacrifice of the soldier was not necessary, it might be humiliated and fled.
The United States seems to be weaving a global alliance system, but it cannot also cover the nature of its isolationism.Regardless of whether it is in the European NATO system, or the American, Japan, and the United States and South Korea alliances in Asia, controlling allies not threatening their position is the first goal.Crisis, curbing strategic opponents is not unimportant, but the United States will let these allies rush ahead, and it is not expected to act as a pawn and cannon fodder.
Therefore, for three years of the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, the U.S. Congress's deliberate delay in the aid bill, it is difficult to say that it did not allow Europe to play food and empty their intentions first.Europe is exhausted. When it is vulnerable, American talents will consider truly investing problems.While in Asia's rise in China, the United States has been encouraging the contradiction between Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan and other countries and regions, so that the formation of the three sea linkage of the East China Sea, Taiwan Sea, and the South China Sea, containing China's energy and the energy and the energy of Chinastrength.It can be imagined that if the contradiction is really intensified, it will definitely have a substantial intervention when the fiscal and difficult support of these front -line countries and regions will be substantially involved. Before that, they would only spend money to buy weapons and training.
In fact, countries around the world have potential instincts of isolationism. Each country hopes to stay away from conflicts and be alone. Only history and reality explain that cooperation rather than isolation can better realize their national interests.American isolationism is undoubtedly the strongest in the world. It is because of the innate geographical advantages that are worried about the aggression and because of the strong national strength, it can almost ensure that it can be used in various conflicts.Orism is the best strategic choice to it.
Today's world has entered a dangerous moment of turbulence. According to statistics from the Norwegian Institute, nearly 2 billion people around the world are directly affected by war or armed conflicts.The scale.The more this time, the more you will hope that the United States will play a role in the superpowers. After all, it is described in its movies that Americans save the world.However, the real and cruel fact is that the blood flowing in the blood of Americans is the factor of isolationism. Within a last resort, the United States will always be an isolated country.When not satisfied.Today, Trump's popularity of Republican Party has obviously seized this key key.
In this way, people from all over the world must remind themselves that peace and development can only rely on their own country and people; if unfortunately caught in conflict, do not easily expect the United States to be fully and fully help.When Americans who adhere to the tradition of isolationistism, the reinforcements may be dying.
