Well, he's consistent.
It would mean the whole web of alliances and blocks existing since WWII would have to go, troops in 123 countries (or whatever the right number is).
But what about the oil? I mean, ever since (who?) Jimmy Carter?, FDR?...the US has seen the middle east as vital to its security.
So trade without alliances? I'm just trying to imagine what that might involve and how it might pan out.
