We have no entitlement to the world’s resources."

If we become isolationist our ability for free trade will likely be restricted as China and Russia scarf up as much of the planet as they can, possibly with some other interlopers like India, maybe Brazil, and who knows who else. Just because the U.S. becomes isolationist doesn't mean that any of the other large players on the global stage will.
