If the US disappeared tomorrow, the rest of the civilized world would be inundated by evil within a week. The people have no idea of how the world works.
True. It would make the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire look like an age of enlightenment.
The best short summary of the situation. Due to comments from foreign relatives that I've heard over the years, I would surmise that most foreigners have a very dim idea of how our society operates. My English in-laws are very nice people who have been inundated with far more pernicious leftist propaganda than what we've experienced.
Like many foreigners (and American leftists), they believe that global warming is a much more serious problem than Islamo-fascism terrorism. The real threat of the latter is now being made apparent to them. We'll see what they think is more important in due time.
