So what you're saying is that a non-interventionist government is like a whale on a mountain peak? Sounds just as far-fetched as benevolent intervention itself.
Snow: Thank you. I'm glad they're being enjoyed, though don't forget to thank Dr. Seuss
Heirabbit: I'm saying that isolationism is not only irrelevant but almost impossible today and fighting against increased connectvitiy between countries and regions is ridiculous and impossible. That's all. Don't try to read too much into it!
Yes, kudos to the good Dr. too. The picture suits the idea perfectly. I just like the image of the whale on a mountain, still spouting water.
Soon there won't be any water to spout, just like isolationism, you can't lock yourself (or your country) away from interaction in the world (though the North Koreans used to claim it could be done with the help of the Russians and Chinese, of course).
