Do you realize that that's exactly what pulled us into WWI? The Germans kept attacking and killing American civilians on shipping vessels. We were going to stay out of that war.

You can't just roll up the fricking sidewalk and act like the rest of the world doesn't exist. It doesn't work that way.

It can absolutely work that way. We choose to stick our nose where it doesn’t belong.

We depend on too much trade going back and forth between us and the rest of the world for that.
