If the US moves away from its global leadership role, a vacuum is formed that will be filled eventually. Obama is part of the problem with his leading from behind. The US MSM is not interested in covering global events.

The dumbing down of America continues. We will pay a heavy price for our ignorance and disinterest.

What price will Americans pay in the long term? Probably no more than the most isolated of all regimes in the world, that of North Korea.

This self enforced isolation adopted by the governance now in place in the territory once known as “the United States of America”, if it remains for more than a very few more years, shall be forced to turn to much the same means of compliance that has been so warmly embraced by the inhabitants of North Korea.

The People’s Republic of China is not advancing so much by their own bootstrap efforts, as they are being aided by the not very strategic retreat by the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut.

Maybe people are just sick and tire of paying trillions of dollars for the dubious honor of having a global leadership role?

Indeed. Unfortunately you could do interviews like this almost anywhere in the country and witness similar levels of ignorance:
