Retrenchment is not isolationism; it is an adjustment of strategic goals and means. Presidents who followed policies of retrenchment since the end of World War II have included Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and now Obama.
紧缩不是孤立主义；只是对战略目标和手段的调整。二战以来采取紧缩政策的总统有艾森豪威尔、尼克松、卡特和现在的奥巴马。客观的历史学家都不会把他们称为孤立主义者。
