Donald......and the rest of the world.
It creates opportunity for China to gain influence at the expense of lost US influence. Two Super Powers are in competition to win hearts and minds. The Russians are out of this game. The US wants Pax Americana, peace on its terms, but the Chinese have a different motivation; they really have no interest in promoting their ideologies or culture. I suspect they are still miffed that the British made them into a nation of opium addicts. And to them, we, British, Americans, we all look alike. One extreme example of the results of the US backing away from foreign policy is Afghanistan. After the Soviets pulled out, there was a power vacuum; the US had supported one faction in the fight, then cut them off. 12 years later, 2 airliners slammed into the World Trade Center, and one into the Pentagon. Propping up Massod would have been way cheaper than everything that followed 911. Arguably, Vietnam was the same; Nixon abandoned his South Vietnamese allies, with the result that thousands died in re-education camps, and there were waves of refugees. -
