I think the US does need to take a more isolationist approach on most issues, only getting involved in things which directly threaten the US itself. If I were you I would try to be as self sufficient as a country as possible, small government, sticking to the constitution, maintain a large and powerful military for defence but generally keep out of things.
You could say the same for Russia.
I wish my country would take such an approach!
Which country is that Ronald?
