“The UK Parliament voted down military action against Syria. Of the other 190 nations of the world, only France joins the United States in supporting a strike. When the Bush Administration invaded Iraq, only three other nations contributed troops. The United States now spends more on its military than the next ten nations combined. They have 900 bases in over 100 countries. No nation on earth or in human history comes close to that military footprint. Is every nation on earth besides the United States ‘isolationist?’ Despite not being attacked by another nation’s military in over seventy years, the United States has been almost constantly at war.”
