It is generally called the cold war.
Also of course Hitler would not have come about if everyone hand't been so busy interfering in everyone else's affairs back in 1914 and 1919.

On the other hand, problems not dealt with inevitably come back to bite us anyway and we might as well confront problems while we have the advantage.
I also think that opposing totalitarianism is the greatest political calling we can have. Human dignity does not stop at the border. If the principle of non-intervention justifies the maintenance of totalitarianism then it is a bad principle.

People have been saying this sort of thing for 5000 years and particularly in the last 200 and what has it got us? Bigger states, bigger wars and more authoritarianism.
