But the result is the same: isolation. Because if a country were to pull out of the internal affairs of nations in which it has an economic interest, those economic interests can be kissed goodbye, as well as other interests, including social and cultural. There isn't a sane business leader who'd involve billions of stockholder money in a country of dubious political standing. Before sinking cash into a country, one wants to be assured of the safety of their investiments. Withdrawal, in my opinion, immediately upsets those investments.
