How are we sacrificing ourselves to those interests? I’d argue maintaining the world order only reinforces our hegemonic dominance of it.

We could simply hit the Monroe Doctrine with a shot of Test and Tren and tell the rest of the world to frick off if we so desired.

I mean I guess we could, but we may not like what the world looks like once we stop that isolation. There’s also no telling who and what consolidates power in our absence.

yea, global economic meltdown and massive devaluation of our citizens’ wealth would be an “inconvenience”. That’s not even getting into the core nature of capitalism that requires constant expansion of markets and efficient allocation of capital wherever that may occur.
