    Let’s see how US ambassadors and diplomats will feel in 5 years, with all the bridges to allies that are currently being burned.

      They won’t be ambassadors by then, they will either agree to become quasi-military emissaries to negotiate concessions and surrenders to our dominion, or they will be retired or just killed.

        Utter nonsense. First thing you do in a military conflict is withrdawing your diplomatic personnel.

          Yeah but I can totally see the Trump administration forgetting about that part and just leaving their foreign ambassadors out to dry.

      Hey, then we can redundant their positions, what with the having no allies. Think of the money we could save on their salaries and flying them around. No downside at all. This is winning, right?
