Here is the best part. Even the very pro-internationalist Obama, was moving in this direction. The US is energy independent again, thanks to fracking. We can literally go isolationist if we choose.
There is a cost to going Isolationist, but when your other choice is extending the empire beyond a obvious breaking point, what else do you do?
The US can not fight wars in 7 different countries, contain Iran, Russia, and China. That isn't a realistic option.
