This sort of thing definitely results in (greatly) reduced capacity to project and preserve American interest, reduced stature in the international community, and attendant material resources to train or otherwise correct these losses.

It possibly signals to Trump that he should stop being a dick. Or something.

But at the same time, looking at that equation... I still can't help but side with the managerial staff in their decision. I straight up don't know what the right course is.
