This is the exact course former CIA bin Laden unit chief Michael Scheuer suggests here. Scheuer writes about the “U.S. governing elite’s mindless, war-causing interventionism.”

Scheuer envisions “a neutral, non-interventionist power that is more secure, united, and prosperous at home, less hated abroad, not militarily overextended, not burdened by useless, fundamentally anti-U.S. dependents like NATO, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, and led—pray God—by a president who intends to win wars America must fight.”
