Some call this isolationism, but it might better be called prudence or pragmatism. After all, President Dwight D. Eisenhower refused in 1954 to send US troops to save the French at Dien Bien Phu because he feared that they would be “swallowed up by the divisions” in Vietnam.
有人把这称为孤立主义，但我认为审慎和务实恐怕更加贴切。毕竟，德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔总统1954年曾拒绝派美军到奠边府救援法军，因为他担心美军会被“越南部队吞噬”。艾克绝不是孤立主义者。
