GLOBAL RESPONSE Who supports the US and who doesn't

The Guardian printed last night that the China delegation abruptly left Trumps golf course 6 minutes after the bombing started. I had wondered at the time if they were staying at the club or not.

When I see that list, a worst case scenario naturally plays out in my mind. I don't know what the fear level was like during ww1, ww2, Cuban missile crisis, Cold War, etc because of my age. I look at that list and see china, Iran, Russia against the rest of the world and it is a scary scenario to me. Am I the only one who looks at things in such a manner? Is my concern an over reaction? Just thinking out loud here.
