Being trusted to keep your word is one of, if not the most important point in diplomacy. In a single stroke, Donnie the Dumbass just blew all that up, pun intended. That severely limits our options now and in the future, making the US much less safe. No one will believe us anymore. Maybe ever. "Giving me 2 weeks? I don't believe you. Diplomacy is off the table."
In October 1962, the fact that the Kennedy administration could be trusted to do exactly what they said they'd do is one of the reasons I'm able to type this. The world didn't end in a nuclear holocaust. The importance of trust cannot be overstated in international affairs. We're now a rogue state, no different than North Korea. But the magats probably think that's a good thing. Such fools on so many levels.
