He points to Thomas Jefferson's principle: free trade with all nations, military alliance with none. That was the founding vision, a framework for engagement without entanglement. Yet today, if you oppose military incursion or foreign intervention, there's a label waiting for you: isolationist. It's a rhetorical trick, he notes, one that conflates prudence with withdrawal. The question isn't whether to engage with the world, it's how. Trade, exchange, and diplomacy can thrive without boots on the ground or proxy wars. The founding fathers understood that distinction, and it's worth asking why that clarity has been lost in modern discourse.
