What if the United States suddenly agreed to pull all troops out of foreign lands, but also immediately ceased all foreign aid, no matter what the cause?

This would mean no troops in the Middle East, no troops in England, no troops anywhere. All of our military would reside in the U.S.

It would also mean no government aid to tsunami victims or earthquake victims or AIDS victims in Africa. We wouldn't be giving any more money to Israel either.

It would mean that the U.S. became an extreme isolationist nation that would more or less only engage militarily when attacked and would under no circumstances deliver financial aid to any nation.

What do you think this would do for the country? Would it be beneficial? Why or why not?

By us stopping aid to Israel would most likely cut down on Terrorism.

I can see it really hurting us if a war did break out in certain parts of the world were we now hold strategic positions.

As far as Aid. I really don't know where or how much aid that we give to other countries. I guess it would cause my war if there was a hugh economic impact.

I guess overall it could cause WWIII somehow or civil war in the U.S. due to economic and political impacts. Who knows it could even bring back the Whig party?

Would this include trade as well?
