Then America should pull out of NATO and the UN, which should be kicked out of New York City.
And America should pull all its troops out of Europe and South Korea and the Middle East and Afghanistan and everywhere else.
And America should strictly limit immigration and do whatever it takes to make its borders impenetrable.
Then America should pledge to defend only itself and three countries from all aggressors: Japan, Australia and Taiwan.
To the rest of the world, America should say, "You're on your own, just like you wanted."
i would have no problem with that....but why those three countries?
Those three countries have been America's most consistently and reliably loyal allies since the end of World War II -- in my opinion, Australia is America's number one ally in terms of consistent, reliable loyalty.
Without America, those three countries are vulnerable to Chinese aggression and hegemony.
From a self-defense perspective, America cannot allow the militarily aggressive, acquisitive Chinese to take over Japan and Taiwan, the two most technologically advanced countries in high-technology and heavy industry (e.g., microprocessors, shipbuilding, capital tool manufacture, high-technology plant construction) other than America.
