The New York Times · U.S. to Withdraw From Group Investigating Responsibility for Ukraine Invasion
A quotation from Frankln Roosevelt
Perfectionism, no less than isolationism or imperialism or power politics, may obstruct the paths to international peace. Let us not forget that the retreat to isolationism a quarter of a century ago was started not by a direct attack against international cooperation but against the alleged imperfections of the peace.
In our disillusionment after the last war we preferred international anarchy to international cooperation with Nations which did not see and think exactly as we did. We gave up the hope of gradually achieving a better peace because we had not the courage to fulfill our responsibilities in an admittedly imperfect world.
We must not let that happen again, or we shall follow the same tragic road again — the road to a third world war.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1945-01-06) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union)

Is "restraint" a more useful framework for US foreign policy than #isolationism? It may offer a middle path between disengagement and unrestrained global activism. A foreign policy scholar explains: https://theconversation.com/what-is-isolationism-the-history-and-politics-of-an-often-maligned-foreign-policy-concept-245201
By Andrew Latham, Macalester College #diplomacy
The ConversationWhat is isolationism? The history and politics of an often-maligned foreign policy conceptRather than clarifying American foreign policy, the term has long been used to tar critics or obfuscate legitimate international affairs questions.

The #UN Charter was drafted in 1945 by people who had learned the lessons that the #aggression, #isolationism and #TariffBarriers of the 20’s and 30’s had led the world into a conflagration. Article One makes it clear: threats of #annexation are illegal. So are unilateral #tariffs in breach of a #trade agreement.

True, however the carrying-out is breathtaking. Granted, #Hitler was similary swift in 1993, even without #SocialMedia, the internet, and global communications. Today, there are so many more people involved.

#ElonMusk did not attend classes at Stanford when he arrived in Palo Alto in fall 1995, working to build his company instead.
“There are work options during studies, while engaged in a full course of study, & also after the completion of studies,” said Adam Cohen, author of “The Academic #Immigration Handbook” & an attorney who specializes in employment visas.

“I had no money for a lab & no legal right to stay in the country, so that seemed like a good way to solve both issues,” #ElonMusk wrote.
Acc/to the federal #immigration regulations that were in effect in the mid-1990s, foreign students with a J-1 visa were allowed to work only in limited circumstances if they were in “good academic standing” & pursuing a “full course of study.”

A board member of the company, who later became its CEO, said #ElonMusk’s status “was not what it should be” in order “to be legally employed running a company in the US.”
Upon learning that #Musk lacked the #legal status he needed, investors scrambled to help him secure a visa over concerns that the matter would have to be disclosed in a securities filing if the company were to go public.
