The Last 4 Years and the Coming Decade 2

Since world war 2, there have been more and more oversea scientific and academic centers and institutions co-established for united research and development, more and more trading and financial hubs and bodies set for cross-continental transactions through systematized logistic and settlement networks. In addition, U.S. has military bases and installations worldwide strewn for the holding of strategic points, prompt reactions and other necessary operations. Along with the augmentation of the aforesaid factors, international interaction and interpenetration across many areas have promoted a full-fledged system in accordance with which ceaseless traffics from every corner around the world shuttle and circulate day by day, year after year. Leaving these links and bonds unattended is tantamount to disowning these assets and the rights and duties associated therewith. Stripping away due duty and diligence from this system which has already registered American deep participation and its leading role will certainly incur worrisome contests, overt and covert, by and between insidious coveters and consequently place the entire world under a dangerous uncertainty. In sum, there have been so much interests distributed all over the world since 1945 that no latitude should be allowed for any form of resumption of isolationism, which is virtually little short of arrant abandonment in today's international political context. Just for want of a nail, the shoe was lost. It's hard to imagine how the federal functionality fails or falters when in want of a good leadership; It's hard to imagine how seriously its normal course of action may be twisted, its planning and executive efficacy mangled and its morals and ethos corrupted. Impacted by the monstrous mockery of the so-called democratic model of the free world, various extremisms began to bulk large both within and outside America the way hundreds of hydras ride the waves of memetic momentum.
