Great read.

Former partners have concluded - with the speed of realpolitik pragmatism - that they cannot build their futures on the foundation of an emotionally unstable, shifting, petty, and small-minded American administration.

America's position in the global hierarchy isn't guaranteed. It can be lost with stunning rapidity when an economically illiterate con artist and a cadre of ideologues are drunk at the wheel.
