That's easy for us to say when it's other people who will suffer from the offensive form of stability. Why are American liberals silent on the human rights crisis that is beginning?
And that issue doesn't even deal with the fact that we have, on a world stage, tucked our tails and run, abandoning our commitments and our allies. The leaders in countries hostile to ours--like Russia and China--certainly have not failed to take note.
U.S. promises to defend friendly states are less of a deterrent to Russian expansion in the Baltic states or in Georgia or Ukraine than they were two weeks ago. India now has to watch its southern and western borders more carefully, and can be less of a help in deterring Chinese aggression. Jihadist movements everywhere are emboldened. It is a great strategic failure.
