It's the 'price of doing business' in a safe, prosperous world. The US, and the world, wouldn't be anywhere near where they are today if the US had pulled back into an isolationist position.
I agree. However, I also think it's fair to say free trade deals that allow Europe and China to protect their industries while giving them unfettered access to the American market could be reworked so they are more in our favor. I also think it's fair to go to a country like Germany, who is does billions in business with Russia... and say more of the cost of protecting them from the Russians is going to need to be carried by them. None of this seems unreasonable to me.
