Zakaria’s historical narrative misrepresents the U.S. as disinterested prior to WWII, ignoring its imperial actions in the Pacific and support for the Allies during WWI.
The documentary downplays the costs of American global leadership, implying that continued prosperity hinges on sustaining a global order that may not be beneficial.
Zakaria portrays returning to isolationism as a danger while dismissing the ramifications of international interventionism, which he terms 'internationalism.'
The cycle of panic around American 'isolationism' highlights a recurrent anxiety about America's role in the world, historically challenged by public sentiment.
