14. There would be fallout from that plan

If the US economy collapses - the whole world economy collapses. That will topple other governments

Russia and China would have to see this as an opportunity. US bases close, Russia can grab more real estate.
Is Trump going to save Taiwan? He'll have too many other problems.

It would be a very unstable situation. The major military powers in the world may see it as an opportunity to grab countries from the vacuum that was NATO.

Very dangerous situation with Trump itching to fire some nukes at someone.
