> With high inflation, low wage growth, increasingly expensive housing, healthcare, education, we gain little from other wars. This is a very naive take on the US economy (and borderline Russian propaganda). The western (and US economy in particular) relies on certain global security guarantees which for the time being are being held together by Team World Police™ to make sure shipping lanes are safe and open, underwater cables aren't being cut, rogue/terrorist states don't have too much of a say in the global economy, etc.. Like it or not, it's the world we live in. The USA cannot be isolationist and cannot abandon other democracies just like that, because it's 'someone else’s war'. It's just what happens when you're the de facto global power and your (and other) economy is based on this assumption. You know who were paying for 'someone else’s wars' propaganda in the US during WW2? Take a guess.
