Current modeling shows we lose to Russia and China in war.
Doesn't matter if that is reality or a model.
Other nations that we need as allies and/or need our support will pick sides based on who is the reliable and strong leader.
Trump has demonstrated himself to be neither of those.
See Kurds, Ukraine, Theresa May, Macron, Hong Kong, Korea and on have been thrown under the bus for short term political gains and that's the best I can attribute his motives to.

Who will the Russians pick off after Ukraine?
What will China do after the South China Sea domination as their next step?
China in Central America, Bahamas?

Remember Great Britain, now on their way to becoming England with a few associates.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
