I don't think this ideology and investment strategy will survive this grift. There's too much geopolitical instability and investment restructuring for it to work again. Everyone is looking at isolationist policies. I mean mastercard/visa is even seen as a risk outside US now.

Yup, when you can’t trust partners (or even nominal allies), what else is there but isolationism?

It's not really isolation but exclusion. Push all risks as far away from you as possible.

When everything ‘outside’ is a risk, what would you call a summary of that policy?

Well a risk has an abstract level and is either increasing or decreasing. You can look at your risk profile over time and work out how to define policy going forwards. It takes a long time to make changes at country level.

US is medium risk and increasing rapidly. Run away quickly.

cooperation.

Sure you have to isolate certain rogue states - North Korea, Russia, USA. Always the way.
