The US would be isolationist after a SHTF scenario not out of desire, but out of sheer geography.
After a SHTF event, just how do you expect the US to communicate and trade with the rest of the world? Also, you need to have some stability before
engaging in profitable global trade again.
Without a steady supply of oil, just using the fuel to get a ship across the ocean had really better be worth it!
Captains of Nuclear subs will likely rule the seas anyhow. Think about it, they can't be touched easily, but could take you out. That's some
incredible power.
Not only would the US be isolationist, but the pockets of survivors within the borders would be too, again, by necessity, not desire.
