    I’d argue not caring stemmed from a failure to understand long term implications. They simply assumed that the US would always be on their side, and never considered what would happen if their interests diverged as they do now.

      The US always had divergent interest from other countries. Besides, the US Liberals have the doctrine of self-interest unless you gain benefit from alignment of interest. Does it take a Donald Trump to help them realize the danger of one-sided foreign dependency?
