This is interesting because it's like saying I would rather be oppressed by my government than by foreign governments. But if that's true for you, why is not true for the citizens of other countries? Taking this to the logical conclusion, all foreign influence should be prevented for being potentially destructive and all the history's isolationism would be justified.

Or it can go the other way, not more isolation but rather more integration. If the goal of many foreign governments (the US included) may be to divide the population of its enemies, what if had an overarching, supranational, dare I say global, government that united people?
