“A number of foreign liberals—Lithuanian, Russian, Slovakian, Swedish, for instance—have criticized American libertarians for advocating a non-interventionist foreign policy. They’ve instead argued that a ‘compelling’ argument can be made for a ‘globalist’ strategy. Actually, that’s true only so long as one isn’t paying the cost of the foreign policy. As foreigners typically do not for American intervention, unless it is directed at them. Nothing in liberal philosophy requires residents of the globe’s most powerful ‘liberal’ nation to bankrupt themselves, sacrifice their liberty, and court national destruction to try to remake the earth.”
