As if this mercenary fuckwit speaks for the entire US.

Yes, being late to the party did benefit the US, but only because we stopped being isolationist.

The problem is isolationism often leads to situations we can't ignore, as with the world wars. We were isolationists before then, and we benefited greatly from our international involvement ever since. We are the richest country in the history of the world largely thanks to our geography and international involvement. The dollar is the world's fiat currency. We prefer not to fight wars for other people, rather we usually just fund and arm groups that share our interests.

If we withdraw back into our shell, we lose the privileged place we have in the world.

A statement from Netanyahu’s office blamed Hamas for the failure, saying the militant group had failed to implement an agreement to release all the women and children it kidnapped.
