Europe in general and the idea of democracy. By extension, therefore, itself, in 5-10 years time, or however long. Appeasing Russian aggression sends a clear message to Xi in China over Taiwan.
Amazing how every other country has no respect for sovereignty. . . except apparently the nation with military bases all over the world who is in conflict with so many others.
And who has invaded multiple countries in the past 2 decades.
Critically, the military bases are voluntarily given. I see no problem with questioning the motives and strategy of US actions but I don't think there's any arguing that the last 70 years would have been far more violent if US hegemony hadn't been present.

There's plenty of argument against that. Ask Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Iraq, or most of Latin America.
