They never were in our favour, but they might just turn outright hostile with this guy.
Good point. We're already on rather poor terms with many other countries. The last thing we need is a leader who takes the "America First" attitude to such extremes that he's willing to make up blatant lies about other countries to fit his personal agenda. Holland, (no offense) is pretty benign. They're not going to declare war on us for something our president says, and I don't think we import much from them. But if Santorum gets elected and starts insulting China, or the OPEC nations, or Great Britain, or Israel. . . the trade repercussions could be devastating, as could the state of our alliances in the middle east. I'm especially worried about China, because it's conceivable that they're eventually going to be considerably more powerful than the U.S, and when they are, they might decide that they don't need to take crap from us anymore. War wouldn't happen from simple words, but a trade embargo or higher interest rates? That could happen, and it would be devastating.
What falls away is always, and is near.
