In other words, isolation is for idiots.

It is tantamount to economically shooting yourself in the foot. It doesn't lead to "greatness" but rather to decline --- a less prosperous, less competitive, less relevant society.

No society has ever isolated itself into "greatness" --- and America won't be the first.
