One of our greatest strengths is that we build coalitions. We just told the world that if you ally with us, you better be ready to grovel.

For example, places like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are capable of building nuclear weapons but they didn't bc they trusted us to protect them. Each of those countries are now imagining themselves sitting there in front of cameras being berated for ingratitude.

Without our allies we are much less powerful.
