Wee,

The Man in the White House is not an isolationist....far from it.

What he is....is a President who puts American National Security and Economic Interests "FIRST".

He looks to our allies to pick up their share of the cost of their own defense.

He also intends to avoid unnecessary and endless wars.

Lots of folks here ranted about "Bush's War" in Iraq....which followed the one in Afghanistan....which continues till today nineteen years later....and now whine about the current President who is working to see and end to that war.

He has brought the North Koreans to the negotiating table....something no other President has been able to accomplish.

Under this President we are seeing American Troops leaving Syria.

In time we will see our Troops leaving Afghanistan and Iraq....and some other places as well.

Bush and Obama got us tangled up in places we had no need to be....we do not see that happening with the current President.

If our National Security interests are at risk....under this President you can count on his support.

Otherwise....don't expect to see us getting involved.

I am quite happy to see the change in thinking by the President.....as far too many lives have been lost due to bad decisions in the past.
