I'm not in the US, but I used to admire them, and I certainly understand that whatever happens to the US has a huge impact on the rest of the world. They used to be the backstop guarantee for democracy in the west, but now they've turned their back on allies.

I wouldn’t even say ‘turned their backs on’ - more, ‘are actively trying to shake down’.

Being ignored would be a blessing here.
