But as Reuters notes there was immediately pushback and condemnation of the move, primarily from Western allied countries:

However, a senior European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity,
responded: "These so-called friends are the ones who have done most to
breach the charter. Maybe they should start by respecting human rights and
fundamental freedoms in their own countries."

"Maybe they should start by respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms in their own countries." You mean like freedom of speech, freedom of
assembly, and free and honest elections? We don't have these things here
anymore. Isn't it about time that we stopped lecturing other countries when we have become just like them?

Sanctions, aircraft carriers, and endless foreign bases all show the US Gov't does not care about America.

It is just immiserating the homeland for donor purposes.

If we stopped sucking the life out of the 50 states we might get the growth rates we had in the past.

And the difference between 1% growth and 6% growth when compounded is so
profound it is worth more than any sanction or weapon in a conflict with
China.

But America has no intention of winning--just initiating and funding
conflict forever. Or until we run out of money.

America would be so much stronger if we adopted America First.
