As someone who is not an american nor a chinese nor from a big European nation this is all frightening to watch.

It's an invisible war of nations and we dont really have a clue about allegiances nor what is right or wrong.

Sure as a european I feel more connected to the US but at the same time I feel very much excluded from that larger sphere protection and benefits.

The US needs a framework for smaller nations where we can build better relations.

Between the end of WWII and now, Western Europe, and now Eastern as well, have enjoyed American defense and economic benefits. Europe almost as a monolithic whole has been fixated on a different economic model than the American model, but that's its own choice -- the U.S. did not impose its model on Europe.

What could that be? We've had the U.N., NATO, the WTO, and what not.
