Look. Here is the short and skinny of reality. Globalization is here. You are just going to have to learn to live with it. Going back to an isolated bubble is not a feasible scenario.
If you say so man. Nations have existed and thrived before the globalisation train. Long after this rapist globalist economy is gone...people and nations will survive just fine.

Why are you insistent on this word "isolation"?
There can never be true isolation. China, Russia are the biggest bad guys as far as globalist agenda is concerned...yet the entire world trades with them. There are many countries that will never truly join the train...and are doing just fine.

Off course, obtuse as usual.
You call me obtuse? I asked for a VERY specific request from you and you haven't even attempted to deliever on it, and now you are pretending like I'm not bringing enough to the table.
Is not voting a logical argument? Like I said, if anyone has the potential to change things up, it is Trump. It is a perfect argument to vote for him.
If I were in Antarctica without a shirt on and freezing and then suddenly I was standing next to an active volcano I'm not sure that would be the kind of change I'd appreciate.
See your logic isn't that much better.
You've let the establishment politicians(in your case the Clinton's/Obama) dump you off in the middle of the arctic and take your shirt to boot. I'm personally going to go stand next to the active volcano where at least I know it's warm, rather then continue slowly freezing to death. Maybe the Volcano goes off in the next 8 year, maybe it doesn't. Either way I prefer it to freezing and maybe it'll take the dicks who dropped me off in the snow and took my luggage with me.
Way to completely overthink my analogy. Glad to see that you'd rather burn to death than freeze to death though (because standing shirtless right next to a lava flow will be extremely damaging to you).
I don't think you understand what an active volcano is
I think you are splitting hairs over a semantics argument when you should know damn well what I meant with that analogy, but if you insist on not being able to read between the lines. Pretend I said erupting volcano instead.
In that case I'll still just choose to burn it all down down now, rather than wait
So, in your opinion, the best course of action to fix a system with flaws is to literally tear it all down and start over? What's wrong with trying to fix it and make it work?

. No nation outside of the USA should view the American president with anything other than fear, envy, or jealous anger.

So you want our country to be a dominating empire then? Because that is the only result when everyone looks at you like that. Either that or countries unite together to destroy you since you can't work well with others. It's comments like yours that really worry me about the direction our country is headed... We are supposed to be a nation of compromise and here you are talking up bullying and intimidation.

We can see the neocons crawling out of the wood work.
You would have though they would have died off after bushes dismal failure but Trumps bringing them out again.

Warhawks never go away for long in this country.
America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776
It's like an American pastime. Apple pie, football, and bombing the # out of places that can barely defend themselves.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

When you drama queens have figured out the difference between national protectionism and direct aggression, let's discuss further. I'm opposed to instigating conflict unless there are beneficial spoils to be claimed (which hasn't happened with the US' wars in many, many years.) so no, not advocating war. At the same time, appeasement is a piss-poor response to another country telling the US what we should do, shipping scores of illegals into our nation, or doing something directly disadvantageous to the US.
No neocon I've ever been aware of has advocated national protectionism. In fact, their king GWB, directly derided the idea back in 2007 when we were calling for it to happen.
how does China pose any threat to us?
