Consider that in a galaxy far, far away (otherwise known as the 1990s), President Clinton felt that he had to assure an isolationist Republican Congress - repeat after me, an isolationist Republican Congress - that the 20,000 U.S. peacekeeping troops he promised Bosnia as part of the Dayton Accords would only stay deployed for a single calendar year.

Matt Welch

I am not a British isolationist. I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.

David Cameron

An isolationist America is no bloody use to anyone.

Billy Bragg

President Trump is not an isolationist and builds closer friendships when he can.

Matt Gaetz

I am surprised that in various countries, whether it's the U.K. or the U.S., you see isolationist tendencies that would tend to work against the co-operation, whether it's climate change, immigration, innovation, helping the very poorest. Those are things where you want to think across country boundaries and see a win-win-type solution.

Bill Gates

The extremist, isolationist policies of Jean-Marie Le Pen have been rejected and crushed

Romano Prodi

The real danger to Britain is a foreign policy that is isolationist in Europe and therefore weak in the rest of the world.

David Miliband

Saying you don't want to enter every potential war in the Middle East doesn't make you an isolationist; it makes you wise.

Nigel Farage

Generally speaking, Rand Paul is been more wrong than right. He has an isolationist view of the world that I don`t share.

Barack Obama

I don't surround myself with anybody, really. I have friends, but I'm kind of an isolationist now. I kind of work on my own.

Donald Trump's United States is not isolationist. He has authorized the use of limited military force against the Syrian government in a manner his predecessor rejected.

Richard N. Haass

It seems the most common thing for serial interventionists to do these days is to lob the term 'isolationist' at anyone who does not agree with their latest folly, and then set up a straw man about those people not wanting to be involved in the world.

Rand Paul

Bernie Sanders is a disappointment on foreign policy, totally doesn't think about it. But he has the possibility to be more isolationist, which would be good for us actually. We manage to kill several million people on this planet without taking any credit for it or blame. It's a heavy karma we have.

Oliver Stone

We need to defend principles like democracy, freedom of speech, gender equality, and the rule of law through exemplifying these on a global scale, not through the same cynical, isolationist policies which have eroded these so-called 'British' values across the rest of the world.

Deeyah Khan

Donald Trump very clearly said America first. That is a traditional right wing, but also very isolationist. That takes us back to the era of the 1920s, when there were immigration restrictions, and also to the isolationism before World War II.

Sam Tanenhaus

The United States has an isolationist and insular culture, combined with a global and interventionist posture. This highly dangerous and febrile mixture, which greatly facilitates the task of the fear-mongers and chauvinists, needs a very exact and nuanced diagnosis. I don't think that analogies from the totalitarian model, however suggestive, are sufficient.
