I think we can squander virtually any aspect of leadership and goodwill.
Indeed we are doing it now. We haven't the patience for diplomacy anymore as the chaos at the State Department has shown. Hollow us out with divisive policies domestically and our economic and military advantages will also be blunted. This is going to be hard to correct even ousting Trump. Our institutions of government are broken and I'm not sure going back to the old paradigm, imperfect as it was, is even possible anymore.
That doesn't mean we can't improve it. But for now we have lost significant influence succeeding beyond the wishes our adversaries' wildest dreams.
