it is all cool to hate amerikkka these days. However the US has a long history of foreign policy that has led to real people being helped.
Lech Walesa would agree on that, as would the albanians we stepped up to save. Policy in west germany in the 40's - the 80's is an example as well.
As for Iran the us should allow the EU to set policy on this issue.
The existence of collective defense treaties like NATO and those that exist with the US and Israel make your statement wrong. Shared borders are not required for a threat to exist.
Force is the tool of the current administration, however diplomacy can be used to achieve goals.
Isolationism is over, a dead concept. Anyone who espouses it has not done their research.
