If that's desirable, don't you think it's better pursued by letting them expend their blood, arms, and money pursuing an aim which we consider desirable to an extent anyway?
I don't know. I think they may be wary of ceding 'authority' in the region to them. The drawback of US isolationism, is that Russia and China don't put a lot of effort into keeping their areas stable. North Korea, for example, is under china's umbrella, and they don't seem to care much about the Kim Jung and his doings.
