The rise of neo-isolationists, particularly on the “right”, who would cede to world to America’s geo-political enemies under the belief that “nation building at home” can be done free of the wicked world in a “safe space”, needs clear counterpoints raised thereagainst. Sen. Ben Sasse (R – NE), offers such a counterpoint in this Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute’s A Time for Choosing Speaker Series lecture.
If we don’t lead the world, then someone else will lead the world… including us.

The problem is not neoisolationism, it is militarism. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has initiated virtually every war that has occurred. We have even been involved in the beginning of the Georgia and Ukraine wars.
The fact is that the US is the Evil Empire. We are a rogue, terrorist state gone beserker. The main international problem is how to defang and neutralize the US and its renegade military.
