    Hey there, I think there’s a bit more to consider in this topic. Firstly, it’s not just the U.S. holding the fort in places like Eastern Europe. European countries, along with other members of NATO, play a big role in their own defense and stability of the region. Don’t forget that there are nuclear powers in EU too.

    Also, the U.S. being involved overseas isn’t just a one-way street where America sacrifices for the sake of others. There are strategic benefits for the U.S., like securing trade routes, building diplomatic relationships, and even national security perks.

    And about socialism and isolationism being mixed up – they’re actually quite different. Socialism is more about how an economy is managed, not how a country deals with foreign policy. Many countries with socialist elements are pretty active globally.

    Regarding Europe and East Asia, calling them isolationist isn’t quite right. These regions are major players in international trade and politics. For instance, the EU is a huge economic bloc and actively participates in global affairs, and so does East Asia, with countries like Japan and South Korea being key international players.
