[quote=Anonymous]The US has been very much a cornerstone of W world for decades.  It's been good because we've established our leadership, helped us econ, def good to have allies of course.  We are the decision makers so that not a bad position.

Its not been so good in that we've had to put out most in most situations whether by way of financial or military support.  It's always us who has to get involved and it is also not the most ideal spot to be in when there's conflicts. We are the stop gap and we own the pressures of being a leader.

That's all gone.  The good and the bad, it's now just us.

Will it be all good or all bad moving forward? I'm sure will be a mix of both as it's never just one or the other.  Militarily and economically, I think it will take history to show the results. Nobody knows the future.

I think the only for sure thing is we've never been here before and we are starting a new chapter of foreign policy.  I think it's only observation at this point - we're no longer part of the players aligning for a position in the world order as Trump has taken us out.  What we are doing moving forward is relying only on ourselves.  It's not a good thing in my mind not to have many friends and words for having made enemies of our friends.  That's 100%. [/quote]
