If foreign nations don’t take up Donald Trump’s call to support insurrection against dictators, perhaps they will embargo or invade the United States the protect their own interests.
According to the Eurasia Group, Donald Trump has made America Great… the greatest threat to global stability:
Sabri Ben-Achour: So the No. 1 global risk in 2026 is not the tension between the U.S. and China or Russia. You argue the No. 1 risk is the U.S. itself. Why?
Ian Bremmer: Because the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world, and it is undoing both its role in a global order that it’s set up, and it’s also challenging its own political system. The level of uncertainty, unpredictability, and — for others around the world — unreliability that that presents is really unprecedented.
Ben-Achour: If the U.S. is recreating a world order not based so much on rules, but just on strength in particular, is that an actual risk or a change?
Bremmer: Well, it’s both. Even though the United States is much more powerful than China, Xi Jinping is much less constrained and much more powerful as an executive authority than President Trump is. And so there’s a reason why the United States felt for generations that it benefited from setting up and abiding by a lot of these rules, like free trade architecture and collective security and the promotion of democracy and rule of law. The fact that the United States is now unilaterally turning against those things will certainly lead to some short-term wins against, say, Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro or Denmark and Greenland, but in the long term, this is not a strategy for success [Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group, interviewed in Sabri Ben-Achour and Ashley Rodriguez, “The Biggest Global Risk in 2025?

Dang—sounds like Americans and the rest of the world all have an interest in regime change in America.
