We may come to regret turning our back to our partners in peace-keeping and dissolving an important peace-keeping process in the global arena. Globalization has been a constant driver of world affairs since Columbus established the bridge between Western and Eastern civilizations. There have been many times in our history when the UN and NATO have helped the US when confronting an international crisis. They proved their worth in the aftermath of WWI and WWII and helped smooth tensions during the Cold War. The amount is really small potatoes when considering the total pile of money we spend on defense and foreign policy.
Trump is the first US President to question the wisdom of membership in the UN and in NATO. All those who believe he is the brightest of foreign policy minds and the most learned about US history among his predecessors...raise your hands.
