That's what isolationists said before WWI and WWII. Let Hitler do as he will, why should we get involved.
Well, back to the present. The US depends on a global economy. We need it to be protected. Neither the UN nor any other country can take the lead. So, as a practical matter, the US will often have to take the lead. That's just the way it is. Whether we like it or not, or think it fair or unfair, makes no difference.
