The last one is the strongest one. Our prior allies know they just can't count on us at all, when it comes to Russia, especially.

It is a sad state of affairs.

On the flip side, when your allies know they can count on you you stuff like them picking stupid fights because they know you'll back them up. Israel dragging us further into Iran during the first ~third of the conflict when the US was trying to find a clean place to stop the escalation is a pretty good example of that.
