that is certainly a position. IMO it's a position that makes the world much,much more dangerous. Without US protection, Taiwan would be invaded I'm quite sure. Japan would certainly be forced to go into a military build-up to protect themselves from China and N. Korea missiles.
I would expect easily that the Middle eastern oil would not be flowing at the moment, it would be hijacked by other forces and probably the shipping lanes closed.
That is why.
Not to mention that russia would have certainly been much more aggressive with europe after WWII and Saddam would have Kuwait and be threatening (or have already conquered) Saudia Arabia.
why not bring home all the cops in your town?
