I’m actually terrified of this. With all it’s flaws and even evilness - I/we can’t ignore the fact that it was keeping other major powers in check.

Shipping lanes and global transportation of goods will no longer be protected by US (where credit is due, they really cared about it, up until Trump), other powers like Pakistan, Turkey and Venezuela might get funny ideas, etc.
Ironically, world without US would look less secure to me
