Yes. Isolationism was the general policy of the United States at around the start of WWII. It wasn't a policy of keeping everyone out and refusing all international commerce, but rather one of not making the worlds problems our problems.
Not being Teddy Roosevelt's "World's Policeman"
A role we've now played, with or without the consent of the policed, since VJ Day.
It's saying we can be friends, share cookouts, trade Christmas gifts, etc, but don't expect me to show up at 2AM with a shotgun if you cry for help.
